Winemaking

The wine is fermented in stainless steel for about one week with frequent “délestages” for colour extraction and several daily pumping overs. Malolactic takes place in steel vats.
Aging: Only stainless steel tanks.
Tasting notes

The Estate
Located in the heart of the Barolo winegrowing region, at the top of the medieval 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 vineyards include some of the most highly prized terroirs within the Barolo winegrowing area.
