Garnet red in colour. The bouquet shows aromas of dried cherries, plums and tar and then adds aromas of white flowers and spice, hints of mineral and smoked meat follow. The palate is equally layered and complex, the silky tannins grippy. Evident structure gives a firm backbone, fruit-forward with lots of dried-berry and rose-petal character. Generous on the finish with fine fruit and finesse.

The history of the Vietti winery traces its roots back to the 19th Century. Only at the beginning of the 20th century, however, did the Vietti name become a winery offering its own wines in bottle. Patriarch Mario Vietti, starting from 1919 made the first Vietti wines, selling most of the production in Italy. His most significant achievement was to transform the family farm, engaged in many fields, into a grape-growing and wine-producing business. Then, in 1952, Alfredo Currado (Luciana Vietti’s husband) continued to produce high quality wines from their own vineyards and purchased grapes. The Vietti winery grew to one of the top-level producers in Piemonte. The Currados have three children, Emanuela, Elisabetta and Luca. In 1970 Alfredo and Luciana, through their friendship and support to some local artists, started to update their wine labels. They mention that in one long winter evening in Langa a group of artists, eating and drinking together with them at the table, suggested to 'dress their art-work in the winery' with 'an art-work on the label'. In that moment the new Vietti labels took their own form and continue to be the same also today.
