Domaine Vietti – A Historic Estate in the Heart of the Langhe

A Barolo legend, pioneer of single-vineyard vinification and guardian of Piedmont’s native grapes.

A Pioneering Legacy in the Langhe

Founded in the late 19th century in Castiglione Falletto, at the heart of the Langhe, Domaine Vietti is one of Piedmont’s most iconic names. Under the leadership of Mario Vietti and the visionary Alfredo Currado, the estate transformed the history of modern Barolo by vinifying its first single-vineyard cru in 1961 — Rocche di Castiglione — and reviving the native white grape Arneis in 1967.

In 2016, the Krause family took over, opening a new chapter: expanding the estate’s vineyard holdings, developing new cuvées, and reinforcing an identity that combines respect for tradition with a forward-looking vision.

Terroir & Grape Varieties

The estate now covers around 75 hectares spread across the rolling hills of Langhe, Roero, Asti, and the Colli Tortonesi. Its calcareous marl and clay soils give the wines depth, structure and great longevity.

History & Identity

• 1961 — First single-vineyard Barolo (Rocche di Castiglione)
• 1967 — Revival of the Arneis grape
• 1974 — Launch of the now-iconic artist labels

Under Alfredo Currado, Vietti established a distinctive style combining tradition and precision. The Krause family’s arrival reinforced this legacy through the acquisition of prestigious crus and a long-term vision anchored in excellence.

Style & Notable Vintages

Vietti’s wines are renowned for their precision and their faithful reflection of each terroir:

More recently, 2019 and 2021 have impressed with their clarity, purity and harmony — confirming the estate’s remarkable consistency.
