The Barolo DOCG "Castiglione" by Vietti is a wine that embodies the philosophy of this historic winery of enhancing each individual vineyard through a winemaking that respects the specificities of the terroir. Produced from Nebbiolo grapes selected in the different parcels located in the municipality of Castiglione Falletto, in the heart of the Piedmontese Langhe, "Castiglione" combines the complexity and elegance that characterize the best Barolos.

This Barolo has a garnet red color, tending towards orange as it matures. On the nose, an intense aroma emerges, with notes of red fruits, dried flowers, spices and hints of earth and tobacco, which reflect the complexity and depth of Nebbiolo. The aging in wood contributes with delicate notes of vanilla and leather, which integrate perfectly without overpowering the fruit.

In the mouth, the Barolo "Castiglione" by Vietti shows a solid and at the same time elegant structure, with fine but present tannins and an acidity that guarantees freshness and longevity. The drink is enveloping, with a perfect balance between the fruity, spicy and mineral components, which blend into a long and persistent finish, a hallmark of wines of great quality and aging potential.

Ideal in combination with Piedmontese and international dishes, such as red meats, game and mature cheeses, "Castiglione" is also a meditation wine, which can be appreciated on its own for its richness and complexity.

Winery history
The Vietti winery was founded at the end of the 19th century in Castiglione Falletto; in 1917 Mario Vietti transformed the estate into a business focused on producing quality wines. In the 1950s Alfredo Currado introduced technical and cultural innovations that led to the creation of one of Barolo’s first crus and, in 1967, to the production of Roero Arneis as a single-varietal wine. Since 2016 the property has been owned by the Krause family, who have continued the winery’s development while respecting its identity and historic vineyards.
Production philosophy
An approach combining artisanal tradition with a focus on sustainability: meticulous vineyard care, minimal interventions, selective winemaking and the enhancement of individual vineyards to express the terroir in the bottle.
Terroir and vineyards
Vineyards spread across the Langhe, Roero, Astigiano and Colli Tortonesi, with historic crus in the Barolo area and parcels also in areas such as Monforte d'Alba and La Morra. The estate reports a significant presence within the UNESCO-recognized area.
