Cantina Vietti sits on Piazza Vittorio Veneto in Castiglione Falletto, a hilltop village at the centre of the Barolo zone in the province of Cuneo. Its 75 hectares extend across four Piemontese areas inside the UNESCO World Heritage landscape recognised in 2014: the Langhe for Nebbiolo, Barbera and Dolcetto, the Roero for Arneis, Asti for Moscato d'Asti and the La Crena Barbera, and the Colli Tortonesi for Timorasso under the Derthona name.
The Vietti range is built around the Nebbiolo of Barolo and Barbaresco. Single-cru Barolo bottlings come from the Rocche di Castiglione MGA next to the winery, plus Brunate, Cerequio, Lazzarito, Monvigliero and Ravera, with the Barolo Riserva Villero as the cellar's longest-aged Nebbiolo. From Barbaresco the estate produces an MGA cuvée alongside Roncaglie and the Riserva Rabajà. Below the Nebbiolo crus, a tier of Barbera built on the Vigna Scarrone in Castiglione Falletto, the Vigna Vecchia Scarrone and Barbera d'Asti La Crena helped set the modern reference for single-vineyard Barbera in the 1980s. The Trevìe range covers Barbera d'Alba, Barbera d'Asti and Dolcetto d'Alba, while Roero Arneis, Moscato d'Asti, Langhe Freisa and three Derthona Timorasso bottlings (Piccolo Derthona, Derthona Timorasso and Derthona Timorasso Boscogrosso) round out the whites.
The winery has farmed without herbicides since 2007 and holds Equalitas certification, the Italian wine industry's audited sustainability standard, alongside a vegan certification that confirms no animal-derived inputs in the cellar. The agronomic manifesto published on the estate's site sets out six commitments: no herbicides, mechanical weeding, biodiversity inside the rows, restrained use of agricultural vehicles, ongoing environmental monitoring, and adaptive viticulture led by a long-tenured vineyard team. The Accademia della Vigna programme, supported by Vietti, trains people from migrant and other under-represented backgrounds for skilled vineyard work.
Vietti runs a structured visitor programme from its hilltop cellar. Classic and experience tastings cover current vintages and rarer cru bottlings, with a private option for small groups, and the signature Trekking Experience walks guests through the Scarrone, Rocche di Castiglione and Villero vineyards at sunrise or sunset. Castiglione Falletto's Big Bench, designed by Chris Bangle, sits on Vietti's Scarrone parcel and is one of the most photographed viewpoints in the Barolo hills. Visits are arranged by writing to [email protected], and the on-site shop is open seven days a week from 10:00 to 13:00 and 14:00 to 18:30.
