In Castiglione Falletto, at the heart of the Langhe, Vietti stands as one of Piedmont’s most influential estates. Pioneer of single-vineyard Barolo, guardian of native grapes and ambassador of refined Nebbiolo, the estate combines historical depth, precision and a rare sensitivity to each cru.

Vietti — A historic estate in the heart of the Langhe

Founded at the end of the nineteenth century in Castiglione Falletto, Vietti is one of the great names of Piedmontese wine. From its privileged position in the heart of the Barolo zone, the estate has played a decisive role in shaping the modern identity of the Langhe.

Under Alfredo Currado, Vietti became a pioneer of single-vineyard Barolo with Rocche di Castiglione in 1961, helped revive the native Arneis grape in 1967, and introduced its now-famous artist labels from 1974. Since 2016, the Krause family has opened a new chapter, expanding the estate’s vineyard holdings while preserving the precision, culture and ambition that define Vietti.

A remarkable vineyard heritage

Vietti now works around 75 hectares of vineyards across the Langhe, Roero, Asti and Colli Tortonesi. This wide yet carefully selected mosaic gives the estate access to some of Piedmont’s most expressive terroirs, from the noble slopes of Barolo and Barbaresco to the white-wine vineyards of Roero and Timorasso country.

The estate is especially renowned for its holdings in prestigious Barolo and Barbaresco MGAs, including Rocche di Castiglione, Brunate, Lazzarito, Ravera, Cerequio, Villero, Monvigliero, Rabajà and Roncaglie. Each site is interpreted with clarity, allowing Nebbiolo to express its structure, perfume, tension and ageing potential with remarkable definition.

Tradition, precision and sustainability

Vietti’s identity rests on a rare balance between classical Piedmontese tradition and technical precision. The estate seeks elegance rather than excess, favouring wines that express place with purity, depth and long-term harmony.

In the vineyard, sustainability is central to the estate’s work, with herbicides eliminated since 2007 and an Equalitas-certified approach covering the winery, the finished wines and the surrounding territory. This long-term vision reinforces Vietti’s commitment to both excellence and the preservation of the Langhe landscape.

Wine style

Vietti’s Barolo wines are admired for their aromatic precision, polished tannins and capacity to age. Rocche di Castiglione often shows finesse and length, Brunate brings velvety depth, Lazzarito offers structure and power, while Ravera and Monvigliero reveal tension, purity and refined detail.

Beyond Barolo, the estate also produces expressive Barbaresco, vivid and textural Barbera, elegant Dolcetto, fragrant Roero Arneis, Moscato d’Asti and increasingly sought-after Timorasso from the Colli Tortonesi. Across the range, the signature remains clear: precision, energy and a strong sense of origin.

Signature wines

Food pairings

Vietti’s Barolo and Barbaresco wines pair beautifully with refined Piedmontese cuisine: tajarin with white truffle, risotto with porcini, braised veal, roasted beef, game birds, mature cheeses and slow-cooked dishes with depth and texture. The estate’s whites are ideal with seafood, fresh pasta, risotto, poultry and delicate cheese-based dishes.
