Another great winery in the Barolo region serving a variety of great wines…read more This 4th generation establishment has been recently expanded and updated with a beautiful modern tasting room and professional English speaking staff. Our visit started with a visit to the cellar to view the operation (a welcome respite from the soaring temperatures when we visited) followed by an extensive tasting back upstairs. We were taken through a wide selection of thei wines beginning with Arneis followed by Barbera, dolcetto and then their multi-vineyar Barolo. We then were able to try a single vineyard Barolo and finished with a sweet moscato. Note: essential to book ahead-they don't take walk ins. We were with 4 others, 2 from Norway and 2 from Finland. The finish couple were on their 10th visit to stock up and were big fans of the vineyard. The tour was the typical walk through the cellar, look at big barrels, etc. Wines were definitely worth trying.

He opened up several bottles of Barolo along with his personal and passionate experience with the Barolo wines. He knew it down to the vineyard Andy possibly row the grapes came from and how the wine was made. There are new and controversial ones. He is my main source for all future Barolo's and Barbaresco's. Also, the shop had great other wines from Italy and France Chocolate was another great find here. High quality! There were other items and foods as well, just like a great delicatessen . Highly recommended, and take your time. We were ther about 2 hours maybe 3

Reservations were simple to make online. €25 per person for a classic tasting plus full tour of production. The property is nestled atop Castiglione Falletto in the Piazza Vittorio Veneto. Absolutely stunning views from the courtyard peering directly at Diano d'Alba across the valley. The afternoon sun provides the best lighting for pictures you'll treasure forever. They offer four tours daily. I recommend later afternoon just for the lightning. Our tour guide Lucia was an absolute professional with extensive knowledge of history, geography, and Vietti family background. We lucked out as others in the group canceled and we ended up with a private tour. After an hour tour of the property, tasting begins. There are many varieties in the lineup and they will tailor to your pallet. My wife likes whites and I prefer bold reds and we both left happy. There is not the option of buying and shipping wine from here. For that, rely on one of the well established community Enotecas. This was my first onsite tour of a winery in Piedmont and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Highly recommend.

First Review....woot woot!…read more If I could give this place more stars I would. Luca Curado is one of the living legend winemakers of our time. His family has been making wine in this region for generations. His wines are some of my favorite, not only to drink but to sell. He makes many single vineyard wines and blends from Nebbiolo, Barbera and Dolcetto. HIs father was the man who brought Arneis back to life after almost being extinct. The view from his winery look directly down on the scarrone vineyard planted by his father. Behind it lies a breathtaking view of Barolo. All the women in our group were fawning over Luca as he exudes the typical charm only possessed by older Italian men. He is as gracious as a lamb and passionate beyond belief. Touring his facility was a dream come true. These wines are some of the finest IN THE WORLD. One should do everything in their power to put as much of this wine into their body before one dies!

Our visit to Abrigo Fratelli Winery in Diano d'Alba was truly unforgettable. As two couples…read moreexploring the region, we were blown away by the warmth, hospitality, and authenticity of this small, family-run estate. From the moment we arrived, the family made us feel incredibly welcome--going out of their way to ensure we were comfortable and engaged. The tour was personal and informative, with generous time devoted to explaining the winemaking process in a way that was both educational and enjoyable. We've visited many larger wineries, but Abrigo Fratelli stood out for its charm, character, and heart. The wines were absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced--we couldn't resist purchasing a case to ship home. We also picked up some of their exquisite honey and even a bag of freshly harvested chestnuts! This is a must-visit if you're in the Piedmont region and looking for an authentic, down-to-earth, and truly memorable wine experience.

We were in Barolo trying wines with a guide and decided to stop in for a tasting…read more The young man staffing the tasting room was so very kind to let us test a number of their very fine Barolo wines starting with a current release (2012) canubo then a 2010 Riserva followed by 1996 and then as a special treat, 1978. After enjoying the wines we had a quick look in the historical underground cellars where we saw aging barrels and many older bottles. This was a very nice and relaxing experience and we really enjoyed the wines although we did favor the slightly younger wines with a little more fruit. Recommended

This tasting room is in the most beautiful part of the valley with amazing views. We had a nice tour and enjoyed tasting the wines. The space itself is somewhat reminiscent of the big Napa brands and the wines of this winery are in good distribution in the us. Worth a visit
