The Vietti winery, now owned by the family’s fourth generation, is based in the small medieval village of Castiglione Falletto, the heart of Piedmont’s famous “Langhe” wine region. Here the Currado family carefully and patiently handcrafts lauded wines that are the result of a unique combination of sun and soil. Although the family has made wine for two centuries, the first Vietti labeled wines were produced by third-generation Mario, who transformed the family’s farm into a grape growing winery. In 1952 Alfredo Currado married Mario’s daughter Luciana and made a name for Vietti’s single-vineyard Barbera and Barolo.

He also put the native Piedmont varietal Arneis on the wine map. In 1970 the Viettis began working with artists on an ongoing, original artwork label program, featuring Pier Paolo Pasolini and Janet Fish among others, which received an exhibition at New York’s MOMA in 1996. In 1990 Alfredo and Luciana’s son Luca joined the family business as winemaker after working at California's Simi Winery, Opus One, Long Vineyards and Bordeaux's Mouton-Rothschild. His innovative winemaking utilizes a unique combination of the modern and traditional.

Vietti currently owns 80 acres of vineyards spread over nine communes within Barolo, and in nearly all thekey regional appellations, including Barbaresco, Barbera d'Asti and Barbera d'Alba. The estate’s vines are from 10 to over 90 years old. The oldest, planted by Luca’s grandfather Mario, are made into the Vigna Vecchia (oldvine) Barbera D’Alba wines.
