The Vietti Barolo Cerequio La Morra 2020 is a stunning example of the craftsmanship that defines this iconic producer. Sourced from the historic Cerequio vineyard, located in the heart of the Barolo region, this wine showcases the depth and elegance of the Nebbiolo grape. With vines averaging 36 years old, the 2020 vintage represents a perfect balance of richness and refinement. The wine underwent malolactic fermentation in barrique before being aged for 24-26 months in large oak casks, allowing it to develop complex flavours and a seamless texture. Its deep crimson colour is accompanied by an aromatic profile of ripe red fruits, floral notes, and subtle hints of earth and spice, creating an enticing bouquet that evolves with every sip.

On the palate, the 2020 Barolo Cerequio is an exceptional example of Barolo’s power and elegance. The wine is medium-bodied with a fresh, vibrant structure, supported by fine tannins and a persistent finish. Layers of wild berry fruits, dark chocolate, and a hint of peppercorn create a beautifully textured wine, while a lively acidity keeps the palate refreshed. As a wine that embodies the unique terroir of the Barolo region, the 2020 vintage is expected to age beautifully over the next 15-20 years, allowing it to evolve and reveal even more complexity with time.

We owe thanks to Carlo Vietti who started the Vietti winery at the end of the 1800s. Situated, to this day, right in the heart of the Langhe, on the highest point of the medieval village of Castiglione Falletto. Mario Vietti, Carlo's son, returned in 1917 after many years from living in the United States, and took the reins of the company, armed with the knowledge of modern techniques he elevated the winery to produce higher-quality wines. By the end of the 1950s, daughter Luciana Vietti had inherited the winery, together with her husband Alfredo Currado an oenologist and fellow art lover, they merged their knowledge of wine with art and culture. Since 1974 certain Vietti wines have been dressed with specially-designed original works (lithographs, xylographies, etchings, silkscreens, linocuts) inspired by the wine of that particular vintage.

From the beginning Vietti has been about commitment and vision, culture and passion. These are the keywords that have contributed to the growth of the Vietti winery and brand, universally recognised today among the best Italian wine labels. The path of quality is traced, thanks to the respect for tradition and careful experimentation, where man and earth have always been able to dialogue. The intellectual, professional, and prospective legacy of Alfredo Currado and Luciana was taken up first, during the 80s, by their son-in-law Mario Cordero and then, starting from the 90s, by their son Luca Currado Vietti, subsequently accompanied by his wife Elena.

In 2016, the Krause Family purchased Vietti. Luca Currado Vietti and wife Elena, continued to process and market the wines producing their final vintage in 2021. Vietti has extended the winemaking properties with new, renowned crus in the denomination of Barolo and Barbaresco. In the Colli Tortonesi area, thanks to the purchase of vineyards, the production of Timorasso had its beginning. As in the past, Vietti maintains those founding values - commitment and vision, culture and passion. The same values that animated Carlo Vietti at the beginning, and all his successors.

Vietti's philosophy is deeply rooted in respect for the land and a commitment to showcasing the full potential of the Barolo region. The estate’s winemaking process combines traditional methods with modern innovation to create wines that are both true to their heritage and forward-thinking. Vietti believes that each wine should be a reflection of its terroir, capturing the essence of the land and climate in which it is grown. With a focus on sustainability, the estate uses organic and biodynamic practices where possible, allowing the vineyards to thrive while minimising their environmental impact.

At the heart of Vietti's philosophy is the belief that great wine starts in the vineyard. The estate works closely with its growers to ensure that only the best fruit is harvested, with minimal intervention in the winemaking process to allow the natural qualities of the grapes to shine. This commitment to quality is evident in every bottle, and the wines produced by Vietti are a true expression of the Barolo region’s rich history and tradition.

Maker:

Vietti, established in the late 1800s, has long been recognized as one of the top producers in the Barolo region. The winery, based in Castiglione Falletto, is known for producing exceptional wines that express the full character of their vineyards, with a particular focus on single-vineyard Barolos. Over the years, Vietti has become synonymous with quality and innovation, with each wine made to showcase the distinct terroir and microclimates of its individual vineyard sites.

After a period of hiatus, the winery was revitalised in 2008 by the Currado family, who have since driven the estate to new heights, acquiring some of the best vineyard sites in the region, including the renowned Cerequio vineyard. Today, under the stewardship of winemaker Eugenio Palumbo, Vietti continues to honour its legacy while pushing the boundaries of what Barolo can be, producing wines that are sought after by collectors and connoisseurs alike.
