Vietti is in Castiglione Falletto, in the Barolo zone of Piedmont. The winery sits at the highest point of the town. It farms 75 hectares across the Langhe, Roero, Asti and Colli Tortonesi, so its wines come from several different parts of the region.
Barbera gets its own single vineyard bottlings here: Barbera Vigna Scarrone, Barbera Vigna Vecchia Scarrone and Barbera d'Asti La Crena. The Scarrone vineyard lies just below the winery, and it's where the Big Bench project by Chris Bangle and Catherine stands. Vietti supports that project.
The winery is also a member of the Accademia della Vigna, a training programme in viticulture for migrants and disadvantaged people. The wider territory was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014.

I haven't reviewed a wine from Vietti yet. They're on my Top 100 list, which is built from awards.
