At the end of the 1950s, Alfredo Currado, husband of Luciana Vietti, introduced the idea of producing single vineyard crus in Barolo and Barbaresco and in 1961 one of the very first Barolo Crus was produced by Vietti: Rocche di Castiglione. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlfredo was known locally as the ‘Father of Arneis’ as he dedicated time and research into reviving the nearly extinct Arneis variety. Passionate about fine art, in 1974 Alfredo and Luciana started incorporating beautiful works of art on their iconic wine labels. In the 1990s their son and fourth generation winemaker, Luca Currado Vietti, continued the family winemaking legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2016, the Krause family purchased Vietti and worked alongside Luca until his retirement in 2023. They further developed the estate with the purchase of new, renowned crus in Barolo and Barbaresco, and in Colli Tortonesi where Timorasso flourishes. In 2022, Vietti was awarded 'Winery of the Year' by Antonio Galloni, Vinous.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"vietti-roero-arneis","title":"Vietti Roero Arneis 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eGrapes for the Vietti Roero Arneis are sourced from vineyards in the municipality of Santo Stefano Roero in the Roero Arneis DOCG. The area is influenced by the proximity of the Alps, where cool air is drawn down from the mountains and the diurnal temperature differences help the vines to retain balancing acidity and slowly build intense aromatic profiles from the long hang-time. At the winery fermentation took place at a very slow pace to maintain the fresh and fruity flavours, in steel vats at controlled temperatures. Halfway through the fermentation, the tank was hermetically sealed in order to reabsorb a small amount of natural CO2. The wine did not undergo malolactic conversion, retaining balancing crispness and it remained on its lees until bottling.

Pre-phylloxera it used to be an important variety, but as a delicate, low yielding variety to cultivate, it fell out of favour. However, it is now enjoying a resurgence in popularity. The vines are grown in the Colli Tortonesi DOC where the climate is warm and has a Mediterranean feel to it. The wine takes its name ‘Derthona’, from the traditional name in the local dialect for the town of Tortona. At the winery the grapes were destemmed and then gently pressed. Fermentation took place with selected yeasts mostly in ceramic vessels and also, a smaller portion, in stainless steel tanks and large oak casks. The wine did not undergo malolactic fermentation, retaining a crisp style. The wine was matured for 10 months in ceramic vessels, steel vats and large oak casks with frequent bâtonnage imparting balancing texture. The Vietti 'Derthona' is a smooth, creamy and beautifully balanced Timorasso, delivering notes of pear, peach layered with mineral and floral nuances and delicious honey tones.
