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!

They sell wine by the glass or bottle, and have a small selection of local artisan beers. Each glass of wine was ~€5 and beer was ~€6. I loved the Riesling and Chardonnay, recommended by the shop owner. It was so crispy and refreshing with the fresh breeze from the lake and Swiss Alps behind us. The local beer was tasty as well but served from a bottle. Overall, definitely worth a visit! Great place in the afternoon to get a drink and take in the views of Menaggio!

They specialize in Lambrusco and sparkling wines. Lunch consisted of several area specialties. 5 varieties of local made prosciutto. Local grilled sausage with radicchio with melted scamorza (local soft cheese). Ravioli with fresh ricotta and herbs. And tagliatelle with fresh porcini and pancetta. The classic trained chef prepared everything with exquisite detail. Each dish is designed to showcase the flavors and techniques typical to this particular area of Emilia-Romagna. Truly unique experience. Quiet, peaceful, and tranquil. Hopefully putting this place on the map won't spoil that.
