help Vietti FAQ
What are Vietti's most famous single-vineyard Barolo crus?
Vietti produces renowned single-vineyard Barolos from sites including Brunate, Ravera, Rocche di Castiglione, and Lazzarito in the communes of Barolo and Castiglione Falletto. The winery was among the early pioneers of single-vineyard Barolo bottlings, with its Brunate Riserva first produced in 1961.
Where is Vietti's winery located?
Vietti is based in the village of Castiglione Falletto, in the heart of the Barolo zone of Piedmont in northwestern Italy. The family-owned estate has operated from this location since the 19th century and is one of the most respected producers in the Langhe region.
Who led Vietti's transition to single-vineyard Barolo production?
Alfredo Currado, who married into the Vietti family, drove the winery's modern reputation by bottling the estate's first single-vineyard Barolos in the early 1960s. His son-in-law Luca Currado Vietti assumed winemaking duties in the 1990s and has continued the family's focus on site-specific wines while reducing reliance on new French oak.
Does Vietti produce wines other than Barolo?
Yes, Vietti produces a range of Piedmontese wines including Barbera d'Alba, Barbera d'Asti, Dolcetto d'Alba, Moscato d'Asti, and Arneis—a white grape variety that Alfredo Currado helped revive in the 1960s when it was nearly extinct. The winery is also known for its Artist Label series, which features original artwork by contemporary Italian artists on its bottles.
