The place where the vision of wine and the vineyard is an expression of the intelligence of the hands. Preserving the craftsmanship that is essential of wine and its production. Cultivating sustainability in the supply chain and in every aspect of our project that looks towards the future. We work for quality standards with no compromises, in search of a renewed balance, harvest after harvest. Only in this way can we obtain an identity-based wine capable of withstanding the test of time.

We train our expertise and winemakers’ sensitivity, while looking after every detail. That’s the style that makes our winery stand out.

We have always opted for the most natural and artisanal processing techniques. This commitment stems from continuous observation, patient waiting, and from the respect for the natural cycle followed by our plants. We know every vineyard, observe each of them in their unique growing season, and respect them.

We respect our land, the techniques, and the ancient knowledge that, along with continuous training, make our wine unique. We take care of the work that we do, aligned with the values of respect, inclusivity, fairness, and social well-being.

This is part of our philosophy and approach because what makes our wine great is the complete respect towards our territory. While working, we aim to reduce the interventions on the vineyard, and we use natural resources with care and consideration. Read more

Story This first release of Vietti’s Barolo "Riserva'' is the result of a "selection within the selection": while working on composing the blend of Barolo ‘Castiglione’, we were struck by some of the wines coming from single Cru vineyards. We were surprised by the combination of intensity paired with elegance and good tannic structure, representing a very good aging potential. This has led to our decision to blend and bottle this wine separately, to enhance the typical features of each individual MGA.
