Barbaresco 'Roncaglie' Masseria by Vietti comes from grapes that come from the single MGA 'Roncaglie' vineyard in the municipality of Barbaresco, which has always been recognized as one of the most qualified areas of the homonymous production area. The average age of the vines is about 30 years. Aging for about 30 months in large barrels and barriques, only in small parts. On the palate it is fresh, full-bodied. There are notes of red and black fruit (strawberry, blueberry and blackberry). The tannin is ripe, soft, silky and well integrated. Particular the almond note on the finish. Overall very balanced and refined. A great Barbaresco, 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.
