THE WINE
The Barbera d’Asti Superiore 'La Crena' by Vietti is an exciting red. The oldest part of the vineyard was planted in 1932. Thanks to its aging of about 18 months in barriques, casks, and steel, it perfectly blends the concentration of red fruits with mineral, spicy, and balsamic notes, offering a unique opulence and richness.
THE VINEYARDS
From 35 hectares of vineyards, alongside the classic Dolcetto and Barbera “TreVigne” (a term indicating that the wine is made from grapes sourced from more than one single vineyard), Arneis and Moscato d’Asti Cascinetta are produced, as well as the “crus” Rocche, Brunate, Lazzarito, Ravera, and Riserva Villero in Barolo, Masseria in Barbaresco, Scarrone and Vigna Vecchia in Barbera d’Alba, and since 1996, La Crena in Barbera d’Asti.
Since 2000, with the retirement of his parents, Mario Cordero and Luca Currado have acquired the entire company property, continuing the production activities while maintaining great respect for tradition but with an open and evolving mindset in the pursuit of maximum quality and pleasure in wine.
A famous wine writer recently noted that Vietti “is always a highly specialized family winery in the production of various types of DOC and DOCG wines.”
AUTHOR LABELS
Since 1974, some Vietti wines are adorned with original works created specifically by an artist and inspired by the wine of that particular vintage.
The print run corresponds to the number of bottles produced, and the first hundred are signed by the Artist. Each work is used only once, exclusively for the wine of that vintage. Since 1988, on the occasion of the presentation of the Barolo Villero 1982, the Author label has been dedicated to the wine from this great vineyard.
THE COMPANY
For four generations, the Vietti family has been producing wines in Castiglione Falletto, a small medieval town located in the heart of one of the happiest areas of the Langhe for grape cultivation, the “Barolo area.”
Carlo Vietti founded the company at the end of the 1800s, and his son Mario began producing the first Vietti wines in 1919, selling most of the production in Italy.
His main project was to transform the family’s multi-sector agricultural business into a winemaking company. In 1957, Alfredo Currado married the daughter, Luciana Vietti, and from 1960, after the death of his father-in-law, he continued the family business, increasingly directing production towards high quality and positioning the company among the best in the Langhe, starting to export its products to important foreign markets such as Germany, Switzerland, and the United States.
The history of the last 40 years has been marked by the choices of Alfredo Currado, an enologist since 1952, and his wife, who are committed to strengthening the image not only of the family business but also of the Barolo territory. Alfredo was the first to select and vinify grapes from single vineyards, a concept that was radical at the time but is now applied by almost all companies producing Barolo and Barbaresco. Thus, in 1961, the first “crus” Vietti were born, the Barolo Rocche and the Barbaresco Masseria.
Nicknamed the “father of Arneis,” in 1967 he was the first to rediscover this nearly extinct variety by vinifying it in purity. Today, Arneis is the most famous white wine of the Albese area.
