Vietti The story of the Vietti winery began
four generations ago in the mid-nineteenth century, when
Mario Vietti founded the estate. In time he passed the winery
on to Alfredo Currado, an innovative producer who pioneered
single-vineyard winemaking. Currado turned his attention
to Arneis in the late 1960's and ultimately helped to establish
it as one of the most recognized wines of the Roero.
Today it is Luca Currado who has taken
the helm of the Vietti estate, creating a unique combination
of modern and traditional winemaking with roto-fermenters,
barriques, large Slovenian oak botte, and open-top fermenters.
Luca believes that the tools of winemaking are to be specifically
chosen for each individual wine and situation, a philosophy
that has led to the production of only the most choice wines.
Interestingly, Currado is now removing tasting notes from
wines such as his Barolo, Barbera, Dolcetto, and Roero Arneis
as he does not want those who sample them to be prejudiced
by someone else's perceptions. With this kind of dedication
and an eye constantly open for new techniques and ideas,
Currado is sure to lead the Vietti winery in positive, inspiring
directions.
