Product Notes

Vietti Barolo Castiglione is an exemplary Italian wine from Piedmont region. The wine is a luxurious blend of diverse vineyards, imparting deep complexity. It boasts a vibrant ruby-red hue, exuding polished layers of plum, wild berry, liquorice, and dried herbs on the nose. The palate unfolds harmoniously with full-bodied, opulent notes of dark fruit and spice, harmonised by structured tannins and a notable acidity. The lingering finish is elegantly warm and pleasing. Vietti Barolo Castiglione is an impressive wine, aged meticulously in oak barrels to reach its superb maturity, demonstrating an exquisite balance between tradition and innovation. It's ideal with richly flavoured foods or as a standalone treat.

Tasting Notes

On the nose explosive, opulent, charming and immediate. Hints of plum, ripe red and black cherry, blackberry, sour cherry, rose petals and tobacco. On the palate it is classic, rich, powerful, with notes of Alpine herbs and a leather finish. Tannins are already well-integrated.

About the Winery

Established in the heart of Piedmont, Italy, Vietti Winery has been a beacon of top-quality wines over a century. Known for its exceptional range of Barolo, Barbera, and Barbaresco wines, it has garnished acclaim within the international wine industry.

The centuries-old winery offers a unique blend of tradition and innovation, producing some of the most exquisite labels in the world. Embracing modern, sustainable practices, the winemakers at Vietti preserve the authentic heritage of the Piedmont region.

Steeped in history, Vietti Winery was officially founded in 1873. However, the family’s roots in vine cultivation stretch back even further. Ettore Vietti fostered the family’s passion by bottling the first Vietti wine in the early 20th century. Around the 1960s, Alfredo Currado, Ettore's son-in-law, revitalised the winery with new production techniques and was one of the first to recognise the value of single-vineyard wines. His pioneering efforts not only elevated Vietti's stature but also significantly influenced Piedmont’s wine industry.

The diverse soil composition and favourable climate of Piedmont provide the perfect environment for vine growth. Combined with Vietti's wine making prowess, this allows them to produce varietals that express the unique terroir of the region. Their exceptional wines are glorified for their profound complexity, remarkable ageing potential, and refined elegance.

From lush vineyards to an impressive underground wine cellar, Vietti Winery is truly an enchanting place to visit. Asides from tasting their delectable wines, one can also enjoy curated wine-tour experiences and immerse in the sweeping panoramas of the surrounding vine covered hills.

In a glass of Vietti, flavours of an Italian legacy unfolds revealing a story of excellence and a commitment to making quality wine for future generations to savour; Vietti represents the epitome of what the Piedmontese industry has to offer a wine lover.
