Barbara from the heart of Castiglione where most people plant Nebbiolo. This wine is very complex, an experience where the terroir is on display from beginning to end.

Left Italian Wine

One of the great names from Barolo, Vietti has been a pioneering force in Piedmont for decades, going back to the 1961 Rocche, one of the first single-vineyard designated bottles ever. The Rocche, and other single Cru wines from outside Castiglione, are among the most sought-after Barolo being made today.

Vietti also makes a Barolo normale called Castiglione, which confusingly is made mostly with fruit from Ravera, in the village of Novello, rather than Castiglione. It’s a good wine to stock up on just about every vintage. The style at Vietti is neither particularly traditional or particularly modern: a down-the-middle approach that is focused primarily on quality and terroir expression.

Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

RP 93
"The organic Vietti 2021 Barbera d'Alba Vigna Scarrone presents lots of dark fruit, blackberry, toast, sweet spice and cinnamon. The fruit is on the syrupy side with a very fragrant and sweet bouquet. The wine is well executed and classic, like a poster child for a warm-vintage Barbera. The palate is very pleasing with glossy, velvety sensations and bright acidity. This is a well-built Barbera d'Alba that ages in barrique for 12 months followed by six months in botte." -Robert Parker

Wine Spectator

WS 90
"Spicy, offering black cherry, violet, cumin and cardamom flavors and a hint of toasty oak. Fresh and harmonious, with a lingering finish."

Wine Enthusiast

WE 92
"This single-vineyard Barbera pops out of the glass with tart blueberry and boysenberry jam aromas accented by candied violets and savory spices. Round and giving, the wine aims to please while still being serious. Ripe mixed berries combine with dried herbs and finish with such great structure and acidity you might do a double take."
