Discover the elegance and heritage of Vietti Barbaresco Roncaglie, crafted by one of Piedmont's most acclaimed producers. The Vietti family has been at the heart of Langhe winemaking since the 1800s, situated in the medieval village of Castiglione Falletto. Vietti is renowned for its pioneering approach in showcasing single vineyard crus, and their relentless dedication to quality has earned them multiple accolades, including the prestigious 'Winery of the Year' award from Antonio Galloni, Vinous.
The grapes for this sophisticated wine are sourced from the esteemed 'Roncaglie' vineyard in Barbaresco, known for its premium limestone and clay-rich soils. Sustainably cultivated and meticulously harvested, the Nebbiolo vines draw character from optimal elevations and southern exposures. The winemaking combines traditional techniques-such as extended fermentation with skin contact and ageing in large Slavonian and French oak casks-to create a harmonious and expressive wine that reflects both its terroir and heritage.
