      Vietti’s inaugural Barolo Riserva release, drawn from the hills of Serralunga. The 2017 vintage marks a new chapter for the estate, built from decades of observation and parcel selection. Sourced from a single east-facing vineyard at 350 metres above sea level, this Riserva represents a top-tier refinement of Vietti’s approach—powerful yet composed, structured yet aromatic.

      With 60 percent whole-cluster fermentation and extended ageing in large oak casks, the wine captures both the gravitas of Serralunga and the quiet control that defines Vietti’s house style. Just 5,000 bottles were produced. This is a rare expression of Nebbiolo from a producer long respected for their clarity and precision, now in a form built explicitly for the cellar.

      Vietti Barolo Riserva 2017

      Intense and almost intoxicating nose of peonies, Parma violets, bright cinnamon, earth, strawberries, and touches of blood oranges and chocolate. Full-bodied, dense, velvety tannins, freshness and lifted acidity in the finish. Drinkable now, best from 2026.

      — James Suckling – 97 points

      From an east-facing Serralunga site, ~60% whole clusters. Shows dark red fruit, leather, tobacco, dried herbs, framed by insistent Serralunga tannins.

      — Vinous (Antonio Galloni) – 90 points

      General praise; highlights structure and persistence, consistent with critical acclaim.

      — Tannico – 93 points

      Vietti

      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.
