Tasting Notes: The nose is rich and delicate. Floral scents such as dog rose and violet and ripe fruit such as cherry and black cherry are perceived. On the palate is fresh and enveloping. The tannin is ripe, soft, silky, well integrated and gives the wine good structure and great elegance. Long and persistent finish.
Estate History: 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. The estate has gradually grown over the course of time, and today the vineyards include some of the most highly prized terroirs within the Barolo winegrowing area.
Although they have been making wine for 4 generations, the turning point came in the 1960s 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) to the invention of Artist Labels (1974) – made him both symbol and architect of some of the most significant revolutions of the time.
