Vietti: The history of the
Vietti winery traces its roots back to the 19th Century. Only at the beginning
of the 20th century, however, did the Vietti name become a winery offering its
own wines in bottle. Patriarch Mario Vietti, starting from 1919 made the first
Vietti wines, selling most of the production in Italy.
His most significant achievement was to transform the family farm, engaged in
many fields, into a grape-growing and wine-producing business. Then, in 1952,
Alfredo Currado (Luciana Vietti’s husband) continued to produce high quality
wines from their own vineyards and purchased grapes. The Vietti winery grew to
one of the top-level producers in Piemonte and was one of the first wineries to
export its products to the USA market.
