Producer

Producer

The Brunate vineyard, located in Castiglione Falletto, benefits from an exceptional microclimate, ideal for growing Nebbiolo grapes. The soils, composed of limestone and clay, impart a unique minerality to the grapes. The vines, averaging 40 years old, are cultivated on terraces, ensuring optimal sun exposure. This meticulous attention to the vineyard is essential for producing high-quality wines that reflect the distinctive character of the Langhe terroir.

Owner and history

Currently, the domaine is run by the Currado family, who have taken over the reins with passion and dedication. The owners' commitment to quality and innovation has allowed the domaine to rise among the most prestigious in Piedmont. Their respectful approach to the vineyard and their commitment to preserving the authenticity of the terroir make each wine a true work of art. With meticulous attention to detail, the Currado family continues to honor Carlo Vietti's legacy, while bringing a modern vision to winemaking.

Vinification and aging

The winemaking process for Vietti - Brunate 2016 begins with a manual harvest of the grapes, followed by traditional vinification. The grapes are destemmed and crushed before being placed in stainless steel tanks for fermentation. This process lasts approximately two weeks at a controlled temperature. After fermentation, the wine is aged in oak barrels for 30 months, which allows the tannins to soften and the aromas to integrate. This meticulous aging contributes to the wine's complexity and structure, while preserving the authenticity of the Nebbiolo grape.
