Vietti, a historic winery located in Castiglione Falletto, has been producing exceptional wines since the late 1800s. Renowned for their dedication to quality and tradition, the Vietti family crafts wines that embody the unique terroir of the Barolo region.
- WINEMAKER: Luca Currado Vietti
- FARMING: Sustainable practices; emphasis on low yields and minimal intervention to preserve vineyard health and grape quality.
- VARIETY: 100% Nebbiolo
- TERROIR: Sourced from multiple vineyards across the Barolo region, including sites in Castiglione Falletto, Monforte, Barolo, and Novello; predominantly limestone and clay soils; vines aged between 10 to 45 years.
- VINIFICATION: Each vineyard is vinified separately; fermentation in stainless steel tanks with daily cap submersion for optimal extraction; post-fermentation maceration for up to 30 days.
- AGING: Aged for approximately 30 months in large oak casks; further refinement in bottle before release.
- TASTING NOTES: The 2020 'Castiglione' Barolo presents an exquisite bouquet of dried roses, violets, and red cherries, complemented by subtle hints of fine baking spice. On the palate, it offers mouth-watering tannins with flavors of red fruits, dried basil, and a touch of leather, leading to a rich and full-bodied finish.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Ideal with hearty dishes such as braised meats, roasted game, or aged cheeses.

SCORES:
- 94 points – James Suckling: "Extremely perfumed with hibiscus, flowers and watermelon with some fresh cherries. Medium-bodied with chewy, polished tannins and a fresh and vivid finish. Very solid. Made from about 20 different vineyards. Needs time to soften."
- 93 points – Jeb Dunnuck: "Floral, fruity, and appealing, the 2020 Barolo Castiglione is the calling card of the estate for the entry to the Barolo range. Emblematic of the vintage, it’s appealing upfront, with aromas of cherry candies, crushed flowers, apricots, and dusty earth."
- 92 points – Wine Enthusiast: "Truly a classic example of the historic Barolo blend, this wine opens with a basket full of dark-hued fruits supported by more subtle elements of forest floor, truffle, dried wildflowers and wild herbs.
