Sourced from vines aged between 28 and 43 years, this cuvée is designed to be a more structured and rounded expression compared to its sibling, the Barbera d'Asti Tre Vigne. Vietti’s philosophy for this label is to provide a wine that is both accessible in its youth and capable of short-to-medium-term cellar aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWine Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 vintage presents a deep ruby-red color with youthful purple edges. The nose is packed with high-toned aromas of ripe red cherries, violets, and vanilla, layered with darker notes of licorice, cloves, and baking spices. On the palate, the wine is medium-to-full-bodied and plush, featuring a vibrant \"crunchy\" fruit core. It is characterized by Barbera’s signature bright acidity, which provides lift and tension, balanced by sweet, integrated tannins and a long, fruity finish with hints of mocha and chocolate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine is 100% Barbera grown in limestone and clay-rich soils. Following a two-week fermentation in stainless steel with daily pumping-over to extract color and flavor, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation.
