Vietti – Barolo Castiglione – 2016

We are talking about the end of 1800’s, when Carlo Vietti founded the winery in the small town of Castiglione Falletto, understanding since the beginning the great potentialities that this territory could have. In 1919 his son Mario started producing the first wines. However the history of the winery was marked by the great enologist Alfredo Currado, the first ever to vinify single vineyards and in 1961 Barolo “Rocche di Castiglione” was released on the market.
Today the winery is one of the most important ones of the whole Barolo area, in fact in 2016 it was bought by the American Krause Holdings, allowing the family to enlarge their patrimony while continuing to produce wines of great territoriality and value.

Before the habit of vinifying the crus separately, the wineries produced an assembly wine with grapes from various areas, Vietti follows the tradition with Il Barolo Castiglione whose grapes come from small and important vineyards scattered among the municipalities of Castiglione Falletto, Monforte d’Alba, Barolo and Novello. The work in the vineyard is meticulous but it is even more so in the cellar, where the individual crus are vinified separately to enhance the characteristics of each terroir. The resulting wine will surprise you with its expressiveness, power and immediacy. 2016, one of those vintages to buy and stock up, few adjectives to describe it: exceptional, majestic, outstanding! What are you still waiting for ?!
