Vietti – Barbaresco Rabajà Riserva – 2019
If in addition to making great Barolo you also make great Barbaresco you undoubtedly become a winery of remarkable dominance as an image and production, the Vietti winery reflects this vision thanks to the first vintage of Rabaja’ Riserva 2019. An unexpected novelty but one that has ignited enthusiasm for lovers of Piedmont wines, limited quantities of 1,800 bottles from one of the appellation’s most historic vineyards capable of giving both wines of freshness and structure and aging. Low yields due to plant age of more than 50 years, fermentation in steel tanks with submerged cap on skins for 3 weeks so as to extract only the best from the grapes, malolactic in wood with subsequent aging in oak barrels for 36 months. The last supersonic vintage for Nebbiolo, the parcel’s limestone soils gave a wine with intense red fruit aromas alternating with spicy notes, good complexity and composure with rough but refined tannins on the finish that promote length and pleasantness. Created to last many years with interesting surprises.

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.
