Tasting Notes: The nose is rich, potent and concentrated. Hints of ripe fruit. On the palate it is fresh. Notes of raspberry and blackberry. The tannins are mature, soft, silky and well-integrated. The hint of almond on the finish is particularly striking. Overall, this is a beautifully balanced and refined wine.
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.
