Description: The history of the Vietti winery traces its roots back to the 19th Century. The family made a name for Vietti's single-vineyard Barolo and Barbera. They also put the native Piedmont varietal Arneis on the wine map. Luca joined the family business as winemaker after working at California's luminaries such as Simi Winery, Opus One and Long Vineyards, and Bordeaux's Mouton- Rothschild. His innovative winemaking utilizes a unique combination of modern and traditional practices. Generous aromas of potpourri, brambly cherry, and violet undertones. Good soft mineral clay and aromatic mushrooms open towards the finish.

Food Pairing: Savory sauces (mushroom), charcuterie, tomato-based sauce, etc..
