Barbaresco DOCG Masseria Vietti 2012

The wine

This cuvée is the resulting blend of two vineyards that are excellent for their clay-chalk soil and their exposure to the south. Matured for two and a half years in oak barrels, this wine is ruby reed in colour, giving off notes of dark, mature fruit, minerals and dried flowers like rose. Its firm, tannic structure is balanced by a superb acidity. With excellent ageing potential, it can be kept in the cellar for over 20 years before accompanying roasted dishes

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.
