Barolo DOCG Castiglione Vietti 2015

The wine

The label on this bottle is enough to tempt you. This is a cuvée characterised by notes of red fruit, chocolate and spices. On the palate, it is tannic and powerful, both complex and fresh. To craft it, the grapes are meticulously selected from Barolo parcels. The vines are between 9 and 42 years old and planted in clay-chalk soil. Each terroir is vinified separately so as to highlight all of their characteristics before blending. It is then left to mature in oak barrels for 30 months before being blended and bottled. We recommend enjoying this wine alongside a meat dish such as game or red meat…what will you choose?

About the Producer Vietti

In the Vietti family since the 19th century, four generations have successfully brought their estate to top of its game in Piedmont. Alfredo Currado's innovation has attracted fans from all over the world. While the trend of standardization of wines was peaking, the Vietti estate seized a golden opportunity to stand out from the crowd by offering very distinctive wines, single-parcel cuvées, and a white wine made from arnéis, an indigenous white grape that had fallen into obscurity.
Today, the Vietti estate is managed by Alfredo and Luciana Currado's son Luca and his wife Elena. They aim to further the Langhe and Alba terroirs to the best of their ability through meticulous and hard work.
Check out their beautiful wines, the Barbaresco or Barolo will do wonders after decanting or few years in your cellar.
