Vietti Barolo DOCG Castiglione 2016 Magnum

Located in the heart of the Langhe hills, at the top of the village of Castiglione Falletto, the Vietti wine cellar was founded in the late 1800's by Carlo Vietti. The estate has gradually grown over the course of time, and today the vineyard holdings include some of the most highly-prized terroirs within the Barolo and Barbaresco winegrowing areas.Although they had been making wine for four generations, the turning point came at the end of the 1950's when Luciana Vietti married winemaker and art connoisseur Alfredo Currado, whose intuitions - from the production of one of the first Barolo crus (1961 - Rocche di Castiglione), through the single-varietal vinification of Arneis (1967) to the invention of Artist Labels (1974) - made him both symbol and architect of some of the most significant revolutions of the time.Son Luca with his wife Elena carried on this vision, culture and passion until 2023, working with the Krause Family who had purchased Vietti in 2016. Vietti remain one of the few estates in Barolo to own vineyard in all eleven Comunes, and in recent years have invested in Roncaglie and Rabajá in Barbaresco and in Derthona for Timorasso. Today, each Vietti wine remains the result of artisanal work and the profound understanding and interpretation of each individual terroir.
