VIETTI Roero Arneis DOCG - Piedmont 2024/25 Bottle - VEG/VGN

Description

The Vietti family has produced fine wine from the heart of the Langhe since the 1800s, when Carlo Vietti established the winery in the medieval village of Castiglione Falletto. At the end of the 1950s, Alfredo Currado, husband of Luciana Vietti, introduced the idea of producing single vineyard crus in Barolo and Barbaresco and in 1961 one of the very first Barolo Crus was produced by Vietti: Rocche di Castiglione. Alfredo was known locally as the ‘Father of Arneis’ as he dedicated time and research into reviving the nearly extinct Arneis variety. Passionate about fine art, in 1974 Alfredo and Luciana started incorporating beautiful works of art on their iconic wine labels. In the 1990s their son and fourth generation winemaker, Luca Currado Vietti, continued the family winemaking legacy. In 2016, the Krause family purchased Vietti and worked alongside Luca until his retirement in 2023. They further developed the estate with the purchase of new, renowned crus in Barolo and Barbaresco, and in Colli Tortonesi where Timorasso flourishes.

In 2022, Vietti was awarded 'Winery of the Year' by Antonio Galloni, Vinous.

This wine consists entirely of the Arneis grape and is produced with a focus on preserving its vibrant nature. The 2025 vintage offers a lively aromatic profile, featuring notes of white flowers, chamomile, and honeydew melon, accompanied by a zesty citrus undertone.

On the palate, the wine is crisp and light-bodied, showing a lovely balance between ripe fruit and a clean, mineral energy. A brief period of lees ageing adds a subtle roundness to the texture without detracting from its linear structure. It concludes with a classic, slightly bitter almond finish. This Roero Arneis is a refreshing choice, pairing excellently with light appetisers, salads, or fresh seafood.
