The Winery

Vietti

Tracing its roots back to the 19th Century, the Vietti estate embodies all that is Piedmont. In 1919 Patriarch Mario Vietti made the winery’s first wines and by 1952 they had grown into one of the top-level producers in Piedmont as one of the first producers to export their Italian wines to the United States. They are particularly known for the range of single-vineyard Barolo, Barbera, and the association with “rediscovering” the Arneis grape variety, so much that Alfredo Currado, who married into the Vietti family, is considered the “Father of Arneis.” With 35 acres and growing, Vietti expects to not only increase production but have even more control over their vineyards to further excel in the 21st Century.

Tasting Notes

JS93
This is a very fruit-forward Barolo with lots of dried-berry and rose-petal character. Full-bodied, round and soft-textured. Generous. Drink in 2018.
RP93
The 2013 Barolo Castiglione is a terrific success story. This is the estate's bread and butter Barolo. Fruit is sourced throughout the Castiglione Falletto township. The wine is consistent and steady, offering amazing value and quality with each new release. The nose is generous and full. It imparts fresh fruit and dark cherry aromas with tar, smoke and licorice at the back. Evident structure gives the wine a firm backbone and will carry it through the next decade of cellar aging. Rating: 93+
