Buy OnlineA new label for this bright and expressive Barbera that was previously called Tre Vigne. Vietti have a pre-eminence in this variety and the use of Barolo vineyards adds to the style's natural generosity. From old vine sites in Castiglione Falletto, Monforte d’Alba and La Morra on limestone clay-rich soil. With lovely ripe fruit and full structure, this is a very satisfying Piedmont red for the price.
They made wine here back in the 1800s, but it was not until 1919 that Mario Vietti turned the family farm to viticulture and Vietti labels first appeared on the Italian market. The winery grew through the 1950’s, when new export markets opened and Mario’s daughter and son in law Alfredo Currado pioneered what was later to become a defining regional idea – single vineyard Barolo and Barbaresco. Today Vietti remain a towering name, with a portfolio occupying the top tier in most Piedmontese categories – particularly their profoundly important expressions of Cru Barolo.
Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"The grapes are sourced from the La Crena vineyards in Agliano Terme and from several other villages in the hills around Asti. Average density is 4,500 plants per hectare.
Ruby red colour with mineral and vanilla notes. Medium-bodied, dry wine with a crisp acidity (perfect for the whole meal) and soft tannins. This Barbera is very well balanced, with a good complexity and a red cherry finish."
