Barolo Riserva DOCG

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  The "selection in the selection."  The grapes for the production of this wine were sourced from various crus within ten of the eleven municipalities in the Barolo region. All were vinified separately, with a different winemaking procedure and with the aim of highlighting the characteristics of each cru's "terroir." During aging we realized that some of these Barolo crus excelled in power, tannic structure and longevity - characteristics that pushed us to create a new Riserva Barolo.
