Vietti – Barolo Villero Riserva – 2016

The highlight is a Barolo that is part of Vietti’s history and Alfredo Currado’s intuition to identify Villero as one of the most important vineyards in Castiglione Falletto, of which they are the best interpreters without comparison so much as to make it only in Riserva. Approximately 5,000 bottles and produced only 15 times in 40 years, a unique parcel with steep slopes tending to the southwest that allows incredible aromatic and flavor power thanks to the afternoon exposure to which it is subjected during the year. Maximum grape selection, fermentation in steel tanks with submerged cap on the skins for 4 weeks so as to extract only the best from the grapes, malolactic in wood with subsequent aging in oak barrels for 36 months. Couldn’t miss the 2016, a Barolo bomb, unparalleled complexity and richness that anticipates considerable aging, red fruit and enveloping underbrush nuances with structure integrated with tannin that is silky yet persistent. It is not enough that the vintage is “very good” but Perfect, it is the only result desired from day one by the one who created it. A must-have in your collection!

Description

We are talking about the end of the 1800s, when Carlo Vietti founded the winery in the small town of Castiglione Falletto, immediately realizing the great potential that territory could have. From 1919 his son Mario began to produce the first wines. The winery’s history, however, was marked by the great oenologist Alfredo Currado, the first ever to vinify the individual vineyards individually, and in 1961 the Barolo “Rocche di Castiglione” was thus released on the market.
Today the winery is one of the most important in the entire Barolo area, in fact since 2016 it has been bought by the American Krause Holdings, thus allowing the family to expand their assets while continuing to produce wines of great territoriality and value.
