Summary
Vietti is one of the pioneers in single vineyard bottlings in Barolo, selecting fruit from specific vineyards and making selective site wines as early as the 1950’s. In the late 1960’s, Alfredo Currado, husband of Luciana Vietti, spent a lot of time researching and rediscovering the nearly lost Arneis grape variety. He is credited as the “father of Arneis”. Their style of winemaking varies from wine to wine – some are very traditional while others have more modern influences. Vietti’s labels have been adorned by local artists‘ works since 1974.
Style & Vinification Techniques
Depending on the wine, vinification techniques may veer more traditional or more modern. The Barolo Lazzarito is considered their most modern in style, and is fermented in stainless steel and aged in French Barrique. The Barolo Rocche, on the other hand, sees a slow and long fermentation followed by ageing for 31 months in Slavonian oak botti.
