About the Producer:
The story of the
Vietti winery began four generations ago in the mid-nineteenth century,
when Mario Vietti founded the
estate. In time he passed the winery on to Alfredo Currado, an innovative
producer who pioneered single-vineyard winemaking. Currado turned
his attention to Arneis in the late 1960's and ultimately helped
to establish it as one of the most recognized wines of the Roero.
Today it is Luca Currado who
has taken the helm of the Vietti
estate, creating a unique combination of modern and traditional
winemaking with roto-fermenters, barriques, large Slovenian
oak botte, and open-top fermenters. Luca believes that the tools
of winemaking are to be specifically chosen for each individual
wine
and situation, a philosophy that has led to the production of only
the most choice wines. Interestingly, Currado is now removing tasting
notes from wines such as his Barolo,
Barbera, Dolcetto, and Roero Arneis as he does not want those who
sample them to
be prejudiced by someone else's perceptions. With this kind of dedication
and an eye constantly open for new techniques and ideas, Currado
is sure to lead the Vietti winery in positive, inspiring
directions.
