Vietti Castiglione Barolo 2019 DOCG

Vietti is located in Piedmont in the Langhe region near the town of Castiglione and was founded by Carlo Vietti. Vietti produces a variety of wines in Piedmont including 5 different Barbera wines and 6 different Barolo wines, but became particularly known for producing wine from the Arneis grape which is a white grape comparable to Viognier. A wine that is still produced today in limited quantities. You can’t mention Vietti without mentioning Alfredo Currado, who married Luciana Vietti in the 1960s. It was he who, to a large extent, made Vietti what it is today through his stubborn interest in the vinification of the Arneis grape and revolutionary thinking about wine production in general. More than 4 generations of Vietti have established its name as a major producer in Piedmont to this day. When the winery was bought by Krause Holding in 2016, the continued development was ensured by adding a number of crus and although Krause Holding is now the owner of Vietti, Luca and Elena Vietti are still in charge of running the winery.
