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.

THE WINE
Moscato d’Asti by Vietti is produced from grapes coming from small vineyards in Castiglione Tinella with an average age of 40 years. Moscato does not undergo malolactic fermentation and is bottled with sterile filtration, thus maintaining its natural freshness, aroma and fine bubble. Intense aroma of ripe yellow fruit (peaches, apricots), floral notes (rose petals) and ginger. Sweet and delicate on the palate, with modest acidity, good balance and complexity. Finish of fresh apricots. Perfect as an aperitif, with desserts, blue cheeses, oriental cuisine and lobster.
VINEYARDS
35 hectares of vineyards are produced, alongside the classic Dolcetto and Barbera "Trevigne" (wording which indicates that the wine is made from grapes from more than a single vineyard), Arneis and Moscato d'Asti Cascinetta , the "crus" Fortresses, Brunate, Lazzarito, Ravera and Villero Reserve in Barolo, Barbaresco Masseria, Scarrone and Vigna Vecchia in the Barbera d'Alba, and, since 1996, La Crena in Barbera d'Asti.
Since 2000, with the withdrawal from the parents, Mario and Luca Cordero Conrad acquire the entire business ownership continuing the more productive activities with the greatest respect for tradition but with an open mind and evolutionary research of the highest quality and enjoyment of wine.
A famous wine writer recently noted that Vietti "is always a family winery highly specialized in the production of different types of DOC and DOCG wines".
ARTIST LABEL WINE
Since 1974 certain Vietti wines have been dressed with specially-designed original works (lithographs, xylographies, etchings, silkscreens, linocuts) inspired by the wine of that particular vintage.
The print run is the same as the number of bottles produced, and the first hundred labels are signed by the Artist. Each work is only used once, just for the wine of that vintage. Since the presentation of the 1982 Barolo Villero in 1988, the artist’s labels have been dedicated exclusively to the wines grown on this great vineyard.
THE COMPANY
The history of the Vietti winery traces its roots back to the 19th Century. Only at the beginning of the 20th century, however, did the Vietti name become a winery offering its own wines in bottle.
Patriarch Mario Vietti, starting from 1919 made the first Vietti wines, selling most of the production in Italy. His most significant achievement was to transform the family farm, engaged in many fields, into a grape-growing and wine-producing business.
Then, in 1952, Alfredo Currado (Luciana Vietti’s husband) continued to produce high quality wines from their own vineyards and purchased grapes. The Vietti winery grew to one of the top-level producers in Piemonte and was one of the first wineries to export its products to the USA market.
Alfredo was one of the first to select and vinify grapes from single vineyards (such as Brunate, Rocche and Villero). This was a radical concept at the time, but today virtually every vintner making Barolo and Barbaresco wines offers “single vineyard” or “cru-designated” wines.
Alfredo is also called the “father of Arneis” as in 1967 he invested a lot of time to rediscover and understand this nearly-lost variety. Today Arneis is the most famous white wine from Roero area, north of Barolo. Setting such a fine example with Arneis, even fellow vintners as far away those on the west coast of the United States now are cultivating and producing Arneis!
