Vietti – Barolo Ravera – 2011

We are talking about the end of the 1800s, when Carlo Vietti founded the company in the small town of Castiglione Falletto, immediately realizing the great potential that this area could have since 1919, his son Mario began producing the first wines. However, the history of the winery 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 released on the market.
Today the company is one of the most important in the entire Barolo area, in fact since 2016 it was bought by the American Krause Holdings, thus allowing the family to expand their heritage while continuing to produce wines of great territoriality and value.

Ravera is one of the most important crus in the entire Barolo area, which on a stylistic level offers a range of expressions ranging from the most mineral to the most tannic, never lacking in elegance. Here the Vietti family has always owned vineyards in fantastic exposures, from plants that even reach 65 years of age, it produces a wine of great character and expressiveness. 2011, a vintage that we can define as fantastic for its “immediate” readiness and pleasantness, if you don’t have the patience to wait a long time to drink your Barolo this is the vintage for you!
