HISTORY The Vietti winery, now managed by the family’s fifth generation, is based in the small medieval village of Castiglione Falletto, the heart of Piedmont’s famous “Langhe” wine region. Here the Currado family carefully and patiently handcrafts lauded wines that are the result of a unique combination of sun and soil. Although the family has made wine for two centuries, the first Vietti-labeled wines were produced by third-generation Mario, who transformed the family’s farm into a grape growing winery. In 1952 Luciana Vietti married winemaker and art connoisseur Alfredo Currado, whose intuitions – from the production of one of the first Barolo crus (Rocche di Castiglione – 1965), through the single-varietal vinification of Arneis (1967) to the invention of Artist Labels (1974) – made him both symbol and architect of some of the most significant revolutions of the time.
VINEYARDS & WINEMAKING This bottling is the newest addition to the Vietti portfolio, with the first vintage being the 2018. The Timorasso grapes are carefully selected from multiple vineyards within the Alessandria Province in Monleale. The vines are subject to southeast and southwest exposure and grow upon clay/limestone soils.The fermentation process lasts 4 weeks and happens in cermic, wood, and stainless steel casks without undergoing malolactic fermentation.
Aromatically the wine has notes of ripened, juicy peaches as well as crunchy pears, wild flowers, and fresh honey. The palate is medium bodied with flavors of golden apples and a creamy fruit forward texture.
