Wines
Piedmont is a famous wine region in the Northwest of Italy, best known for Barolo and Barbaresco wines made from the Nebbiolo grape. Literally translated, Piedmont means “at the foot of the mountain” because of its location in the foothills of the Alps, bordering France and Switzerland. Piedmont is also home to one of our favorite producers, Vietti Winery. The Vietti Winery was established in the late 1800s by Carlo Vietti on the highest point of the medieval village of Castiglione Falsetto. In 1917, Mario Vietti, Carlo’s son, transformed the winery into a top producer of high-quality wines. In the late 1950s, Luciana Vietti, Mario’s daughter, and her husband Alfredo Currado created one of the first Barolo Crus in 1961. In the 1990s, Luca Vietti, the grandson of Luciana and Alfredo, led Vietti to become recognized as one of the best winemakers in Italy. In 2016, the winery was purchased by the Krause family who expanded Vietti’s property in Barolo and Barbaresco Crus and Colli Tortonesi which brought us Timorosso.
We are pleased to have the opportunity to bring a very limited quantity of our three favorite Vietti wines to Piazza Discepoli. Colli Tortonesi Timorosso 2022 ($40) is yellow in color with pear, peach, and floral notes and a minerality that makes it dry, soft, and round. Barbaresco Roncagli 2020 ($135) is ruby-red with strawberry, blueberry, and blackberry notes, silky tannins, and almond on the finish. Barolo Monvigliero 2020 ($240) is ruby-red with ripe strawberry, cherry, and spice notes, smooth tannins, and superb balance. These wines are extraordinary thanks to five generations of wine-making tradition, exceptional quality, and a versatility to pair with many foods. Just in time for the holidays, Vietti will be a great addition to any meal.
Are you looking for something special or specific? Please feel free to email Rob with any wine questions or needs at the link below or give us a call in the shop at 513-561-6956. We’re always happy to source something for you if we don’t currently carry it in the store.
