Vietti
Nestled in the heart of the Langhe wine region in Piedmont, Italy, Vietti is a beacon of tradition and excellence in the world of wine. With roots dating back to the 19th century, Vietti has been producing exceptional wines for generations, forging a deep connection to the land and a passion for quality.
Situated in the quaint village of Castiglione Falletto, our vineyards sprawl across some of the most prized terroirs of the Langhe, including renowned crus such as Rocche, Villero, and Lazzarito. These vineyards, meticulously tended by skilled hands, yield grapes of exceptional character and complexity that reflect the region’s unique microclimates and soil compositions.
Vietti marries traditional winemaking techniques with vibrant modernity. From elegant Barolo and Barbaresco to refreshing Arneis and Dolcetto, each Vietti wine is a testament to our unwavering pursuit of excellence and expression of terroir.
Beyond our renowned wines, Vietti offers visitors the opportunity to experience the beauty of our estate through guided tours and tastings. The winery’s historic cellars, stocked with oak barrels and aging vessels, are a glimpse into the winemaking process, while the panoramic views of the surrounding vineyards provide a picturesque backdrop. With a legacy built on passion, craftsmanship, and respect for the land, we continue to uphold Vietti’s reputation as one of Italy’s most esteemed producers.

2023 in Review
In 2023, Vietti obtained the prestigious Equalitas certification, which is specifically tailored for wineries and vineyards and highlights our dedication to sustainability in all its dimensions: environmental, social, and economic. This certification is known for its rigorous standards in water and energy management, biodiversity conservation, and social responsibility. By attaining the Equalitas certification, we not only showcased our commitment to sustainable practices throughout our operations, from vineyard management to winemaking, but enabled consumers to identify wines produced with environmental and social responsibility at their core.
We collaborated with ERICA, a nonprofit organization involved in environmental initiatives, to sponsor the World Plogging Championship held in Genoa. The championship merged jogging with litter collection to promote environmental conservation on a global scale. Beyond encouraging physical activity and community involvement, this event helps raise awareness and inspire sustainable practices worldwide.
Furthermore, our partnership with Sughero.org supported the Save the Cork initiative, which utilized used or overstock wine corks for thermal insulation in green buildings. By capitalizing on cork’s thermal properties, sound insulation, and resistance to moisture, our collaboration contributed to healthier indoor environments while preserving cork oak forests and biodiversity.
In collaboration with the University of Turin, we hosted interns during the harvest season, providing valuable hands-on experience in viticulture and oenology. This partnership involved research activities during the grape harvest, thus advancing scientific knowledge in the field.
Over 11% of the energy used at our facility was provided by on-site solar panels, while local wells for irrigation reduce our water intensity. We implemented environmentally friendly practices in our wine cellar operations, such as energy-efficient lighting, recycling, and composting, and minimized our environmental impact through water conservation efforts and supporting local sustainability projects.
Energy intensity (kBtu/site ft2)
Energy intensity dropped significantly compared to previous years due to reduced natural gas use. As of June 2023, Vietti’s electricity supplier guarantees 100% renewable power. On-site PV panels cover an additional 11% of Vietti’s energy needs.
Water intensity (gal/site ft2)
On-site wells aid irrigation at Vietti, with annual water intensity varying in line with water supply fluctuations.
