Barbaresco DOCG Masseria Vietti 2003

The wine

This cuvée is the resulting blend of two vineyards that are excellent for their clay-chalk soil and their exposure to the south. Matured for two and a half years in oak barrels, this wine is ruby reed in colour, giving off notes of dark, mature fruit, minerals and dried flowers like rose. Its firm, tannic structure is balanced by a superb acidity. With excellent ageing potential, it can be kept in the cellar for over 20 years before accompanying roasted dishes

About the Producer Vietti

In the Vietti family since the 19th century, four generations have successfully brought their estate to top of its game in Piedmont. Alfredo Currado's innovation has attracted fans from all over the world. While the trend of standardising wines was peaking, the Vietti estate seized a golden opportunity to stand out from the crowd by offering very distinctive wines, single-parcel cuvées, and a white wine made from Arnéis, an indigenous white grape that had fallen into obscurity.
In 2016, the Krause family acquired the estate with the intention of expanding it with new prestigious crus in the Barolo and Barbaresco appellations. Today, they remain committed to preserving the identity and values that have characterised the Vietti estate since it was founded.
The Vietti estate cultivates 75 hectares of vines spread across the Langhe, Roero, Asti and Colli Tortonesi regions, an area listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2014. Check out their beautiful wines, the Barbaresco or Barolo will do wonders after decanting or few years in your cellar.
