The history of the Vietti winery traces its roots back to the 19th Century. Patriarch Mario Vietti, starting from 1919, made the first Vietti wines, selling most of the production in Italy. The Vietti winery quickly grew to one of the top-level producers in Piedmont. Alfredo was also one of the first to select and vinify grapes from single vineyards. Since 1974 certain Vietti wines have been dressed with specially-designed original works (lithographs, xylographies, etchings, silkscreens, linocuts) inspired by the wine of that particular vintage. The print run is the same as the number of bottle produced, and the first hundred labels are signed by the Artist. Each work is only used once, just for the wine of that vintage.
