Piedmont Releases: Vietti
Located in the heart of the Langhe hills, the Vietti wine cellar was founded in the late 1800s by Carlo Vietti. The estate has gradually grown over the years, and today the vineyards include some of the most highly prized terroirs within the Barolo winegrowing area.
Although they have been making wine for four generations, the turning point came in the 1960s when Luciana Vietti married winemaker and art connoisseur Alfredo Currado, whose intuitions – from the production of one of the first Barolo crus (Rocche di Castiglione, 1961), through to the single varietal vinification of Arneis (1967) to the invention of Artist Labels (1974) – made him both symbol and architect of some of the most significant vinous revolutions of the time. His intellectual, professional, and prospective legacy was taken up by Luca Currado Vietti (Luciana and Alfredo’s son) and his wife Elena, who have contributed to the success of the Vietti brand – universally recognised today as one of the very finest Italian wine labels – by continuing the pursuit of quality, considered experimentation and working for expansion and international consolidation.
