Vietti – Barolo Cerequio – 2018

Located between the villages of La Morra and Barolo, Cerequio is considered a vineyard of great prestige in the DOCG Barolo area from the qualitative point of view of its wines, which are always structured and prone to good longevity thanks to suitable exposures and marly soils. The Vietti family is one of the last to have acquired a small part in this Cru (about one hectare), the vines are 35 years old exposed to the full south where the soils here are calcareous and clayey placed at an excellent altitude on 350 meters. Produced for the first time with the 2018 vintage, the same procedures are adopted i.e. selection of the best bunches which are fermented on the skins using the submerged cap technique for three weeks in steel tanks, malolactic fermentation takes place in wood followed by aging between barriques and large barrels for 32 months. What you get is a splendid wine in fact captures for its intriguing bouquet of ripe red fruit mixed with spices, in the mouth it is enveloping and elegant, fine tannins with good persistence.

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 winemaker 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 purchased by the American Krause Holdings, thus allowing the family to expand their assets while continuing to produce wines of great territoriality and value.
