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. 


Kracher, Burgenland, Austria:
Weinlaubenhof Kracher is located in the picturesque village of Illmitz, and possesses an excellent
reputation in crafting fine botrytis wines. In 1981, Alois Kracher took charge of the wine production
