Vietti Piedmontese Wine Tasting with Urs Vetter

Join us November 2nd as we welcome Urs Vetter , Export Manager for Vietti for a tasting of some special wines. The Vietti family has been producing wine for four generations in Castiglione Falletto, at the heart of the Barolo area. Carlo Vietti founded the winery in the 1800s and his son Mario and the next generations carried on his legacy, focusing on improving the production. Then, in 1952, Alfredo Currado (Luciana Vietti’s husband) was one of the first to select and vinify grapes from single vineyards (such as Brunate, Rocche and Villero). This was a radical concept at the time, but today virtually every vintner making Barolo and Barbaresco wines offers “single vineyard” or “cru-designated” wines. Today, the winery is in the hands of Luca Currado Vietti and is considered to be one of the very best Piedmont producers. Their wines are highly sought-after, with beautifully designed labels as well as wonderful wine. In 1970, Alfredo and Luciana decided to support to some local artists and have selected labels turned into artworks. The following wines will be poured: • Vietti Colli Tortonesi Derthona Timorasso • Vietti Perbacco Langhe Nebbiolo • Vietti Castiglione Barolo • Vietti Brunate Barolo • Vietti Lazzarito Barolo • Vietti Rocche di Castiglione Barolo Light snacks will be provided. Note this tasting will be at the 9658 142 St NW location.
