The Vietti name as a winery was forged in 1919 where the family business of agriculture and farming, shifted towards grapegrowing and wine making. The first wines of Vietti were sold domestically and eventually became one of the very first Piedmont producers to export to the United States, where the brand is highly regarded today. Vietti is regarded as one of the early premium producers for Barolo and the first producer of the White Nebbiolo or Arneis, establishing a stand alone wine of this single variety in 1967. The estate owns 35 planted hectares and produces up to 15 wines, depending on vintage quality. Of these vineyard holdings they possess a special holding of vineyards, without question the greatest collection of the prized Cru sites located throughout Barolo.
