James Suckling
Very perfumed and pretty with sliced strawberries and citrus blossom. Plenty of forest berries, too. Medium to full body. Creamy tannins and a fresh finish. Fine texture and gorgeous. Vegan. Hard not to drink but will be even better in 2027.

The Vietti 2020 Barbaresco Roncaglie Masseria has bright rose, cherry, redcurrant and angel food cake with strawberries. There are mineral notes as well, and the fruit unfolds over the palate with gentle intensity. There is some oak spice, but it is very well integrated; and the wine shows good balance, especially where the tannins versus acidity is concerned. Only 6,100 bottles were made.

Antonio Galloni MW - Vinous
The 2020 Barbaresco, from vines in Roncaglie, sizzles with tension. Bright, red-toned fruit, orange peel, mint, white pepper and crushed rocks are all beautifully delineated. In many vintages, the Roncaglie is quite showy. That is hardly the case in 2020, a vintage in which the wine is classically austere and in need of time. Super-classic.

Jeff Porter - Wine Enthusiast
Aromas of wandering through a lush garden filled with roses, violets, herbs and a raspberry bush lift from the glass. Vibrant and crunchy the wine pops on the palate with pomegranate and tart cranberries supported by supple tannins and lively acidity. An intriguing herbal finish adds depth to this elegant wine.
