The Winery
Winegrowers for four generations, it was Carlo Vietti who founded the winery at the end of the 19th century in the municipality of Castiglione Falletto, in the Langhe. In the early 1900s, his son Mario began selling the Barolo they had started producing. From the 1960s onwards, his daughter Lucia, together with her husband, oenologist Alfredo Currado, carried forward the work of the Vietti winery. Alfredo was the first to vinify individual vineyards separately. In an era like the 1960s, Barolo was not conceived as a wine from individual “crus,” but rather was born from the vinification of all the vineyards together. Alfredo’s other great pioneering vision was to valorize Arneis, a native grape variety long forgotten by local producers: the winery began vinifying it as a single varietal, and other producers followed suit, leading Arneis to become the most important white grape variety of the territory today.
Today Vietti is considered one of the greatest semi-traditional Barolo producers, making masterful use of both large casks and barriques.
