95 points Wine & Spirits: "Luca Currado's Brunate shines in this lighter vintage, its fresh cherry flavors tangy and taut yet offering plenty of juicy appeal. Hints of rose petal and fresh herbs lend a softness that's balanced by lively acidity and a high note of orange peel. This wine continues to brighten over several days. (2022)"
94 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2018 Barolo Brunate is a deep, layered wine that is going to need at least a few years to come together. Today, the Brunate is quite primary and backward, but all the ingredients are there. Sage, menthol, licorice, dried flowers and spice build with a bit of coaxing. Drink: 2028-2048. (Feb 2022)"
94 points James Suckling: "Sweet raspberries and strawberries on the nose, as well as some chalky minerals. Full-bodied with a tight bead of fruit and mineral flavors that have a hand on the firm tannins and produce good focus and drive at the end. Needs time to integrate. Try from 2025. (3/3/22)"
94 points Susan Hulme MW (The Wine Independent): "The 2018 Vietti Barolo Brunate has a subtle nose of delicate smoke, tobacco and cream, with oak spice and a warm nuttiness and violet note on standing. The Brunate vineyard is in the commune of La Morra with a clay limestone soil and an altitude of 300-400m above sea level. The average age of the vines is 55 years old. In spite of the fact that La Morra wines are usually rounder and softer, the tannins were quite present, fine but upright, with a tangy, savory firmness. Drink 2024-2044 (Jul 2022)."
