Vietti is a classic producer working in a neo-classic style, in our minds. The wines aren’t ultra-traditional, but they do combine what Luca Currado values most about traditional wines of the Piedmont with modern cellar practices.  The result is a set of wines that show tons of Nebbiolo character and distinct terroir signatures, but with a certain elegance that’s all Vietti. The true hot ticket is the 2016 Crus, which are arriving here one week from Friday, but unfortunately are highly allocated. These are, in the words of Antonio Galloni, the Italian reviewer extraordinaire, the “Vietti’s 2016 Barolos are stratospheric” “don’t miss” wines, and in sum, the 2016s are “truly epic wines that will define their legacy at Vietti.”
