Dolcetto d'Alba DOC Tre Vigne Vietti 2019

The wine

This cuvée is a 100% Dolcetto, a grape variety from the Langhe hills in Piedmont that Luca Currado and his wife Elena found great interest in, having made it their project to craft wines with a strong identity. The vines are grown in clay-chalk soil. Once harvested, the grapes are sorted meticulously and fermented in stainless steel vats. The wines are aged in the same containers. This cuvée gives off delicious aromas of red and black fruits, a veritable basket of cherries, blueberries and raspberries. On the palate, this is a well-balanced wine with supple tannins. It has a lovely acidity that brings a certain freshness.

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 standardization of 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.
Today, the Vietti estate is managed by Alfredo and Luciana Currado's son Luca and his wife Elena. They aim to further the Langhe and Alba terroirs to the best of their ability through meticulous and hard work.
