For the past four generations, the Vietti family has been producing wine in Castiglione Falletto, a small medieval village located in the centre of the Langa region of Piemonte, and more specifi cally the designated region for the cultivation of vines for the production of Barolo.
Vietti is very much a family run entity. Over recent years Luca Currado-Vietti has gradually taken over the winemaking direction from his father Alfredo, and Luca’s brother-in-law Mario Cordero responsibility for sales and marketing from Luca’s mother Luciana. Luca’s wife Elena Penna assists with administration and public relations. Each family member is closely linked to the overall objective, to produce the highest quality wines, whilst retaining respect for the traditions of the specific appellations, and focussing on achieving the best results from specific vineyard sites.
Tasting notes
Concentrated notes of ripe red and black cherries with vanilla and hints of brown spice are beautifully integrated with refreshing acidity and rich, long tannins.
Technical notes
Fruit from vines planted in 1988 in the Scarrone Vineyard was fermented in open steel tanks for 16 days. At the beginning of the malolactic fermentation the wine was moved into French oak barrels and oak casks for 14 months after which it was transferred to stainless steel tanks for two months. The wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered.
