ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Located in the heart of the Langhe hills, at the top of the village of Castiglione Falletto, the Vietti wine cellar was founded in the late 1800s by Carlo Vietti. Although they have been making wine for four generations, the turning point came in the 1960's when Luciana Vietti married winemaker and art connoisseur Alfredo Currado, whose intuitions – from the production of one of the first Barolo crus (Rocche di Castiglione – 1961), through the single-varietal vinification of Arneis (1967) made him one of the modern pioneers of the region. His legacy was taken up by hi son Luca Currado and his wife Elena. Today Vietti is the only estate in Piedmont to own vineyards in all eleven of the Barolo-producing villages with many of the parcels located in the region’s most historic and pedigreed sites. Vietti was named winery of the year 2022 by Antonio Galloni's Vinous Media. The current winemaker for Vietti Wines is Eugenio Palumbo, who joined the winery after the departure of Luca Currado-Vietti in early 2023. Palumbo leads the winemaking team at Vietti, continuing the winery's legacy of quality and innovation under the ownership of Krause Holdings.
