Collection: Vietti

When wine lovers talk about Barolo, the conversation often turns to Vietti.

The old Vietti Wine House is located right in the middle of the Langhe district in Piedmont - more specifically near the village of Castiglione Falletto, which is particularly famous for its Barolo wines.

The winery was founded way back in the 19th century by Carlo Vietti and thanks to subsequent generations, several vineyards have since been acquired - including some of the most highly regarded "Cru's" in Barolo.

The 1960s were a defining era for the company when Luciana Vietti married the famous winemaker and art connoisseur, Alfredo Currado, who was the first to produce single-vineyard wines (from the cru vineyard Rocche di Castiglione, among others), making him an important trendsetter in Barolo. His son Luca Currado and his wife, Elena, later took over the company and continued Alfredo's life's work with the same enthusiasm and drive to produce top-class wines.

In 2016, however, Vietti was sold to the Krause family, who run a chain of grocery stores in the US and who love Barolo. However, it has been agreed that both Luca Currado and his brother-in-law Mario Cordero will continue to run the company, so that they can continue and further develop the Vietti family's life's work.
