Vietti Barolo

Product Description: Barolo in magnum is built for time. Vietti’s 2021 release brings together fruit from select parcels across the Barolo DOCG, showing the estate’s hallmark of precision and restraint. The larger format allows Nebbiolo’s tension and perfume to unfold more slowly, making it a compelling choice for collectors who prize longevity and evolution in the cellar. Vietti has long been a benchmark for Barolo, balancing traditional techniques with exacting attention in the vineyard and cellar. In magnum, the wine’s structure and aromatic range are given even greater scope to deepen over decades, offering an expression of Barolo at its most enduring. The Maker We owe thanks to Carlo Vietti who started the Vietti winery at the end of the 1800s. Situated, to this day, right in the heart of the Langhe, on the highest point of the medieval village of Castiglione Falletto. Mario Vietti, Carlo's son, returned in 1917 after many years from living in the United States, and took the reins of the company, armed with the knowledge of modern techniques he elevated the winery to produce higher-quality wines. By the end of the 1950s, daughter Luciana Vietti had inherited the winery, together with her husband Alfredo Currado an oenologist and fellow art lover, they merged their knowledge of wine with art and culture. Since 1974 certain Vietti wines have been dressed with specially-designed original works (lithographs, xylographies, etchings, silkscreens, linocuts) inspired by the wine of that particular vintage. From the beginning Vietti has been about commitment and vision, culture and passion. These are the keywords that have contributed to the growth of the Vietti winery and brand, universally recognised today among the best Italian wine labels. The path of quality is traced, thanks to the respect for tradition and careful experimentation, where man and earth have always been able to dialogue. The intellectual, professional, and prospective legacy of Alfredo Currado and Luciana was taken up first, during the 80s, by their son-in-law Mario Cordero and then, starting from the 90s, by their son Luca Currado Vietti, subsequently accompanied by his wife Elena. In 2016, the Krause Family purchased Vietti. Luca Currado Vietti and wife Elena, continued to process and market the wines producing their final vintage in 2021. Vietti has extended the winemaking properties with new, renowned crus in the denomination of Barolo and Barbaresco. In the Colli Tortonesi area, thanks to the purchase of vineyards, the production of Timorasso had its beginning. As in the past, Vietti maintains those founding values - commitment and vision, culture and passion. The same values that animated Carlo Vietti at the beginning, and all his successors. Philosophy Vietti's philosophy is deeply rooted in respect for the land and a commitment to showcasing the full potential of the Barolo region. The estate’s winemaking process combines traditional methods with modern innovation to create wines that are both true to their heritage and forward-thinking. Vietti believes that each wine should be a reflection of its terroir, capturing the essence of the land and climate in which it is grown. With a focus on sustainability, the estate uses organic and biodynamic practices where possible, allowing the vineyards to thrive while minimising their environmental impact. At the heart of Vietti's philosophy is the belief that great wine starts in the vineyard. The estate works closely with its growers to ensure that only the best fruit is harvested, with minimal intervention in the winemaking process to allow the natural qualities of the grapes to shine. This commitment to quality is evident in every bottle, and the wines produced by Vietti are a true expression of the Barolo region’s rich history and tradition.

Prunotto Barolo

In 1904 a co-operative winery called Ai Vino Delle Langhe was founded and a young man who worked there was Alfred Prunotto. Prunotto took over the estate in 1922, giving it his own name and today it is run under the umbrella of the famous Marchesi Antinori family. Located in Alba the estate tends around 50 hectares of vineyards throughout the Langhe and Monferrato. This Nebbiolo is garnet red in colour with ample and complex aromas of violets and berry fruit, full and velvety in flavour and very balanced. Its structure and body make it an ideal match for meat and game dishes and for cheese.

Pio Cesare Ornato Barolo

An utterly transcendent and beautiful wine that defines Barolo, yet it comes without the prima-donna price tag. Tar, roasted chestnut, roses along with subtle oak and acidity structure and firm tannins on the palate. Pio Cesare had done a great job in this Ornato Barolo!

Luigi Pira Barolo Serralunga

On the palate it is very vigorous, rich in extracts, with lively and pleasant tannins that are rounded through a skilful use of wood. A powerful, tantalizing Nebbiolo by Luigi Pira with a great ageing potential.

Bruno Giacosa Barbaresco Asili

Garnet red colour with delicate orange reflections. Fine and complex bouquet with violet and wild berry notes. Its flavour is full, velvety and harmonious. Great elegance in this Nebbiolo wine by Bruno Giacosa.

Massolino

Sottimano Cotta

Situated between Neive and the town of Barbaresco itself, Cotta beautifully combines the rich, fuller-bodied nature of Neive, with the tannic structure of Barbaresco. With a south-west exposure, it is usally the richest and roundest of the Sottimano crus, typically showing abundant red and black fruits with refined nuances of mint, leading to a palate of notable length. The tannins are there, but beautifully expressive and silky. A benchmark Barbaresco with a 15-20 year cellar life.

Sottimano Fausoni

Just outside the town of Neive, the Fausoni cru produces wines of elegance, with a velvety personality. Notes of spices, menthol, eucalyptus and sweet red fruits abound, while the palate typically shows lovely richness and persistence, finishing with fine grained minerally tannins and a hint of menthol. A beautiful, refined Barbaresco, with a 15-20 year cellar life.
