Barolo 'Cerequio' by Vietti is made from grapes from the historic single vineyard of 'Cerequio', one of the most important MGAs in the entire Barolo production area. Vines with an average age of 35 years. 2018 is the first vintage of this very important Vietti cru. Aging for 32 months in large oak barrels and about a year in the bottle. On the palate it is full, fruity and citrus notes are perceived (strawberry, plum, cherry). The tannin is fine and impressive at the same time in support of an enveloping and persistent structure. All the harmony and complexity of one of the most important crus stands out. On the final balsamic notes that give rare elegance and balance. A great Barolo, to be left in the cellar to reach its maximum splendor in a few years.

For four generations the Vietti family produces wines in Castiglione Falletto, in the heart of the Langhe. At the beginning of '900, the son Mario began selling Barolo they had been manufacturing, focusing the company exclusively winemaking family activity. Since the '60s is the daughter Lucia, with her husband winemaker Alfredo Conrad, to carry on the work of the Vietti winery, concentradosi increasingly on a high quality production. Alfredo Conrad was the first to select and vinify grapes from single vineyard concept at that time radical, but now applied to almost all companies that produce Barolo and Barbaresco. The other great Alfredo pioneering vision was to enhance the Arneis, native vine long forgotten by the producers of the zone: the winery started to vinify in purity, and so did other manufacturers later, bringing today Arneis to be the most important grape white grape of the area. Today Vietti is considered one of the greatest Barolisti semi-traditional, doing a masterful use of both barrels of barrels that.
