Barbera d'Alba DOC Tre Vigne Vietti 2018

The wine

As its name suggests, this cuvée is made from a single variety, the Barbera grape, and the vines used are between 25 and 40 years old. After a thorough growth in clay and chalk soil, the grapes are fermented for two weeks in steel containers before a year-long maturation in barrels. This is a wine with a ruby red colour that gives off notes of ripe, black cherry and vanilla, the marks of its maturation. Thanks to its supple, round tannins, it will pair nicely with grilled vegetables and delicate meat dishes in a light sauce.

About the Producer Vietti

In the Vietti family since the 19th century, four generations have successfully brought their estate to top of its game in Piedmont. Alfredo Currado's innovation has attracted fans from all over the world. While the trend of standardization of wines was peaking, the Vietti estate seized a golden opportunity to stand out from the crowd by offering very distinctive wines, single-parcel cuvées, and a white wine made from arnéis, an indigenous white grape that had fallen into obscurity.
Today, the Vietti estate is managed by Alfredo and Luciana Currado's son Luca and his wife Elena. They aim to further the Langhe and Alba terroirs to the best of their ability through meticulous and hard work.
