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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2016, the Krause Family purchased Vietti.

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.

Throughout the year, individual portions of the must are put in an autoclave at a temperature of 12-14 degrees to initiate alcoholic fermentation. When a percentage of around 5.5% alcohol by volume is reached, the temperature is quickly reduced to stop the fermentation. The wine, which is only partially fermented, is then filtered.

Founded by Carlo Vietti in the late 1800s in the heart of the Langhe, on the highest point of the medieval village of Castiglione Falletto, the winery was transformed into a high-quality wine producer by Carlo's son, Mario Vietti, upon his return from living in the United States in 1917. In the 1950s, Alfredo Currado, oenologist and art lover, brought new intuitions to the winery, intertwining wine knowledge with art and culture. Vietti produced one of the first Barolo Crus in 1961 and the first vinification of Arneis in 1967. The wines were accompanied by Art Labels starting in 1974, making the Vietti brand an icon and standard-bearer of important revolutions. The winery's commitment, vision, culture and passion have contributed to its growth and recognition as one of the best Italian wine labels. The Krause Family purchased Vietti in 2016 and decided to extend the winemaking properties with new, renowned crus in the denomination of Barolo and Barbaresco. In 2023, the Heritage was taken over by the Krause Family, already owner of the Cellar since 2016 and standard-bearer of the new future of the Vietti brand. Vietti maintains its founding values and looks towards the future with even more promising and stimulating prospects, with each wine being the result of artisanal work and the profound understanding and interpretation of each individual terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1974, Vietti wines have been adorned with specially-designed original works inspired by the wine of that particular vintage. These works include lithographs, xylographies, etchings, silkscreens and linocuts. The print run is the same as the number of bottles produced and the first hundred labels are signed by the artist. Each work is only used once, just for the wine of that vintage. Since the presentation of the 1982 Barolo Villero in 1988, the artist’s labels have been dedicated exclusively to the wines grown on this great vineyard. The idea for these unique labels was conceived by Alfredo Currado and a group of artist friends over a bottle of Barolo Rocche. They believed that wines like these deserved to be graced with labels unlike any other and the idea began to take shape the following day. These art labels have become an iconic part of the Vietti brand, adding a touch of art and culture to their already exceptional wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBarolo is a renowned red wine produced in the Piedmont region of Italy. The wine is made from Nebbiolo, a small, thin-skinned red grape varietal known for its high acidity and tannins. Harvesting of Nebbiolo grapes generally takes place in late October, as it is one of the first varietals to undergo budbreak and last to be picked. Barolo wines are required to be solely composed of Nebbiolo, with no exceptions. The Barolo DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) is the highest classification for Italian wines and guarantees specific production methods and quality. Wines from the Barolo DOCG must be 100% Nebbiolo and aged for at least 38 months, with 18 of those months in wood barrels. This results in a wine with a unique flavor profile and exceptional quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVietti's Barolo Ravera is a premium wine made from grapes grown in the famous MGA “Ravera” vineyard located in the municipality of Novello. The soil is limestone- and clay-rich, with Marls of Saint Agatha present. Ravera in Novello is a fabulous hillside vineyard with a western\/south-western exposure, situated at an altitude around 400 m asl. The average age of the vines is 34 years and there is a density of around 4500 plants per hectare over a total area of around 2.1 hectares.

Founded by Carlo Vietti in the late 1800s in the heart of the Langhe, on the highest point of the medieval village of Castiglione Falletto, the winery was transformed into a high-quality wine producer by Carlo's son, Mario Vietti, upon his return from living in the United States in 1917. In the 1950s, Alfredo Currado, oenologist and art lover, brought new intuitions to the winery, intertwining wine knowledge with art and culture. Vietti produced one of the first Barolo Crus in 1961 and the first vinification of Arneis in 1967. The wines were accompanied by Art Labels starting in 1974, making the Vietti brand an icon and standard-bearer of important revolutions. The winery's commitment, vision, culture and passion have contributed to its growth and recognition as one of the best Italian wine labels. The Krause Family purchased Vietti in 2016 and decided to extend the winemaking properties with new, renowned crus in the denomination of Barolo and Barbaresco. In 2023, the Heritage was taken over by the Krause Family, already owner of the Cellar since 2016 and standard-bearer of the new future of the Vietti brand. Vietti maintains its founding values and looks towards the future with even more promising and stimulating prospects, with each wine being the result of artisanal work and the profound understanding and interpretation of each individual terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1974, Vietti wines have been adorned with specially-designed original works inspired by the wine of that particular vintage. These works include lithographs, xylographies, etchings, silkscreens and linocuts. The print run is the same as the number of bottles produced and the first hundred labels are signed by the artist. Each work is only used once, just for the wine of that vintage. Since the presentation of the 1982 Barolo Villero in 1988, the artist’s labels have been dedicated exclusively to the wines grown on this great vineyard. The idea for these unique labels was conceived by Alfredo Currado and a group of artist friends over a bottle of Barolo Rocche. They believed that wines like these deserved to be graced with labels unlike any other and the idea began to take shape the following day. These art labels have become an iconic part of the Vietti brand, adding a touch of art and culture to their already exceptional wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVietti's Barolo Brunate is a premium wine made from grapes grown in the historic MGA \"Brunate\" vineyard located in the municipality of La Morra, on the southern slope towards Barolo. The vineyard is situated at an altitude of 300-400 meters above sea level and the soil is rich in limestone and clay (Marls of Saint Agatha). The vines are Guyot-cultivated and have an average age of 50 years, with a density of around 4600 plants per hectare. These factors contribute to the wine's unique flavor profile and exceptional quality. Barolo is a renowned red wine produced in the Piedmont region of Italy. The wine is made from Nebbiolo, a small, thin-skinned red grape varietal known for its high acidity and tannins. Harvesting of Nebbiolo grapes generally takes place in late October, as it is one of the first varietals to undergo budbreak and last to be picked. Barolo wines are required to be solely composed of Nebbiolo, with no exceptions. The Barolo DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) is the highest classification for Italian wines and guarantees specific production methods and quality. Wines from the Barolo DOCG must be 100% Nebbiolo and aged for at least 38 months, with 18 of those months in wood barrels. This results in a wine with a unique flavor profile and exceptional quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vietti Barolo Brunate La Morra 2019 is a stunning example of a Nebbiolo wine. The grapes were harvested by hand on 7 October 2019 and underwent gentle pressing before fermenting for around three weeks in a steel tank, in contact with the skins. The wine was aged for around 32 months in total, in barriques and large wood barrels, before being bottled without being filtered. This wine has an intense ruby-red color and an explosive, powerful and wide-ranging nose. Fruity notes of plum, citrusy hints of cedar, grapefruit and hints of spices are prominent, while hints of violet flower emerge after a few minutes in the glass, typical of the Brunate terroir. On the palate, it is intense and full-bodied with soft, rounded and velvety tannins typical of the La Morra area. The finish reveals a hint of liquorice root. Vietti Barolo Brunate La Morra 2019 pairs perfectly with red meat, roasted meat and game. Vietti Barolo Brunate La Morra 2019 is an exceptional wine that showcases the best of the Nebbiolo grape variety and the unique terroir of the La Morra area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe 2019 Barolo Brunate is a powerhouse. Black cherry, plum, spice, lavender, mocha, gravel and scorched earth all build as this virile, potent Barolo struts its stuff. The Brunate is another super-impressive wine in this range. To be perfectly honest, the Brunate has never been one of my favorite wines here, but the 2019 is undeniably great. Perhaps the combination of parcels Vietti has today explains the multi-dimensional vibrancy that comes through. This is simply magnificent. - \u003cstrong\u003eAntoni Galloni, Vinous, 98 Points.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Finer Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStyle - Red Wine\u003cbr\u003eVarietal - Nebbiolo\u003cbr\u003eCountry - Italy\u003cbr\u003eRegion - Piedmont\u003cbr\u003eVintage - 2019\u003cbr\u003eBottle Size - 750ml\u003cbr\u003eABV - 14.5%\u003cbr\u003eOther - Vegan Friendly\u003cbr\u003eClosure - Cork\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vietti","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40243110412375,"sku":"VBBLM19","price":499.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/barolo-brunate-la-morra.png?v=1694133607"},{"product_id":"vietti-barolo-castiglione-2019","title":"Vietti Barolo Castiglione 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003eVietti is a winery with a rich history spanning almost 150 years.

The wine was aged for around 32 months in total, in barriques and large wood barrels, before being bottled without being filtered. This wine has an intense ruby-red color and an intense nose, with notes of ripe red berries and fine spices. On the palate, it is full-bodied with fruity (strawberry, plum, cherry) and citrusy notes. The tannins are simultaneously fine and imposing, supporting the wine's enveloping and persistent structure.The finish reveals balsamic notes that further enliven this wine, whose elegance and balance are rare indeed. This wine pairs perfectly with red meat, lobster, game, pot roast and mature cheeses.

However, there can be significant differences in the various municipalities and vineyards, where microclimates play a big role in wine anatomy. Barbaresco DOCG is made from 100% Nebbiolo grape in the sub-varieties Michet and Lampia. According to DOCG regulations, Barbaresco wines must be aged for a minimum of 2 years (at least 9 months in wooden barrels) before release and aged for at least 4 years to be considered a riserva.

The soil is rich in limestone and clay, with a south\/south-western exposure at approximately 280 meters above sea level. The average age of the Guyot-cultivated vines is around 34 years, with a density of around 4600 plants per hectare.

The ruby-red colour with subtle garnet hues is striking and the rich, potent concentrated nose has hints of ripe fruit. On the palate, the wine is fresh and full-bodied, with notes of red and dark fruit, including strawberry, blueberry and blackberry. The tannins are mature, soft, silky, well-integrated and the hint of almond on the finish is particularly impressive. Overall, this is a beautifully balanced and refined wine that pairs perfectly with stewed meat, game, roasted meats and strong mature cheeses.

The wine then spent over a year on the lees without racking and was aged for around 32 months in large oak barrels. This wine has an intense garnet-red color and a nose that, while stark to begin with, reveals complex floral notes that emerge after a few minutes in the glass. Striking notes include red fruit, chalk and white pepper. It is fine on the palate, with hints of ripe red berries. The taught, compact tannins make this a very classic wine and the acidity is vibrant and vertical. Very elegant and refined. Recommend decanting a few hours before serving. This wine pairs perfectly with game, red meat and mature cheese. Vietti Barolo Ravera Novello 2019 is an exceptional wine that showcases the best of the Nebbiolo grape variety and the unique terroir of the Ravera vineyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe 2019 Barolo Ravera is the most intensely mineral and saline of the Barolos. Crushed rocks, white pepper, flowers, orange zest, red berry fruit and bright acids all run through this finely sculpted, chiseled Barolo. Readers who enjoy Barolos of energy and tension will adore the Ravera. I have always had a soft spot for this Barolo. The 2019 is another magnificent dimension of Vietti’s dark horse, a wine that over the last 10-12 years has routinely challenged for the crown here, and often won! - \u003cstrong\u003eAntonio Galloni, Vinous, 100 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Finer Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStyle - Red Wine\u003cbr\u003eVarietal - Nebbiolo\u003cbr\u003eCountry - Italy\u003cbr\u003eRegion - Piedmont\u003cbr\u003eVintage - 2019\u003cbr\u003eBottle Size - 750ml\u003cbr\u003eABV - 14%\u003cbr\u003eOther - Vegan Friendly\u003cbr\u003eClosure - Cork\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vietti","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40243117097047,"sku":"VBRN19","price":499.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/barolo-ravera.png?v=1694135461"},{"product_id":"vietti-langhe-nebbiolo-perbacco-2021","title":"Vietti Langhe Nebbiolo Perbacco 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVietti says it best, \"Perbacco was and still is one of the most important bottles in the history of Langhe for being able to tell the story of this land to many people around the world, while delivering amazing quality at the same time.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerbacco is made from 100% Nebbiolo parcels all planted in the Barolo region from vines (average 35 years old) and then declassified and bottled under the Langhe D.O.C. designation.

In 2021 the Nebbiolo harvest began in the final days of September, reaching optimal ripeness in the second week of October. The grapes were healthy, with peak phenological maturity aided by the lower temperatures and the contrasting day-night temperatures noted from the second half of September onwards. In terms of quantity, crop loads were optimal and well-balanced, with visibly smaller berries than last year - the latter often a marker of superior quality. These factors resulted in a strong polyphenol content, essential in order to produce wines of structure and balance intended for lengthy ageing. In conclusion, despite the 2021 vintage being distinguished by a succession of significant climatic events, like late frosts, storms and hail in summer, as well as drought, remarkable results have been achieved in terms of the quality of the grapes, due in part because the yields were reduced.

The grapes come from small yet significant vineyards in the various municipalities of the Barolo region. The nose is explosive, opulent, seductive and striking. Notes of plum, red ripe black and sour cherries, blackberry, rose petal, and tobacco. On the palate, the flavor is classic, rich and potent, with balsamic and slightly spicy notes. The tannins are well integrated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe average age of the Guyot-cultivated vines is between 10 and 45 years old, with a density of about 4,500 plants per hectare. The soil is rich in limestone and clay. The grapes are harvested by hand in October. After gentle pressing, the juice ferments for around 3 - 4 weeks in a steel tank, in contact with the skins. This period includes pre- and post-fermentation maceration, involving the traditional submerged-cap method. Malolactic fermentation takes place in wood. In the cellar, each individual cru is vinified and aged separately and in different ways to bring out the characteristics of each “terroir”. The wine is matured for 30 months in large barrels and, for a small portion, barriques. Each cru is vinified separately and assembled before bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNebbiolo proved to be in excellent condition in the 2020 season. When it was ready for picking: moderate overnight temperatures led to a rapid accumulation of polyphenols, which were already at excellent levels by the middle of September. Growth was constant, rather than exponential, so the grapes reached full ripeness - in other words optimal sugar levels - between the end of September and early October. In terms of acidity too, the Nebbiolo never suffered the losses typical of short-cycle and hotter vintages. This may be due to early growth resulting from the substantial supply of water at the beginning of the summer, which allowed the vines to physiologically develop in the best possible way. In conclusion, also considering grape ripening control data, the 2020 vintage can be said to be extremely good with points of excellence, especially for the medium-long ageing wines, which are showing characteristics that are perfect for achieving winemaking distinction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNose - Dark Fruit, Cola, Smoky Tar\u003cbr\u003eDark fruit, cola, wild berry coulis and smoky tar. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePalate - Brawny, Succulent, Firm-Fine Tannin\u003cbr\u003eThe wine wears a hot vintage well, with accessible and powdery tannins for near or medium-term drinking.
