Notes: Vietti’s Barolo DOCG, formerly known as "Castiglione Barolo," is the primary Barolo produced by the winery. Originally named after Castiglione Falletto, the commune where the Vietti winery is situated. With the 2021 vintage, the name "Castiglione" was removed from the front label. The wine contains grapes from a careful selection of the best MGA vineyards in the Barolo zone (Bricco Fiasco, Bussia, Fossati, and Ravera, to name a few), Truly a remarkable expression of Barolo year after year, it's also a remarkable value.
The average age of the Guyot-cultivated vines is between 10 and 45 years old, with a density of about 4,500 plants per hectare. The soil is rich in limestone and clay. Each individual cru is vinified and aged separately and in different ways to bring out the characteristics of each “terroir”. The grapes are harvested by hand. After gentle pressing, the juice ferments for around 3 - 4 weeks in a steel tank, in contact with the skins. This period includes pre and post-fermentation maceration, involving the traditional submerged-cap method. Malolactic fermentation takes place in wood. Aged around 30 months in large barrels and, for a small portion, barriques. Each cru is vinified separately and assembled before bottling.
