| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\n\r\n\r\nRuby red color 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. Vietti continues to achieve year in and year out. The 2020 \u201cTre Vigne\u201d Barbera continues that streak with a wine that begins with all bass notes. Deep and dark aromas of black cherry, roasted plums, candied violets and sweet spices. The wine is juicy and lush on the palate with gobs of blackberries and a touch of dried lavender and savory spice. The wine finishes with a brightness needed to keep the wine fresh.\r\nWine Enthusiast 93 Points\r\nFood Pairings: Antipasti, rich salads, grilled seasoned vegetables, hearty soups, pasta, pork, chicken with light sauces.\r\n\r\n\r\nAbout Vietti Winery\r\nLocated in the heart of the Langhe hills, at the top of the village of Castiglione Falletto, the Vietti wine cellar was founded in the late 1800s by Carlo Vietti.\r\nThe estate has gradually grown over the course of time, and today the vineyards include some of the most highly-prized terroirs within the Barolo winegrowing area.\r\nAlthough they have been making wine for 4 generations, the turning point came in the 1960s when Luciana Vietti married winemaker and art connoisseur Alfredo Currado, whose intuitions \u2013 from the production of one of the first\u00a0Barolo crus\u00a0(Rocche di Castiglione \u2013 1961), through the single-varietal vinification of\u00a0Arneis\u00a0(1967) to the invention of\u00a0Artist Labels\u00a0(1974) \u2013 made him both symbol and architect of some of the most significant revolutions of the time.\r\nHis intellectual, professional and prospective legacy was taken up by\u00a0Luca Currado Vietti\u00a0(Luciana and Alfredo\u2019s son) and his wife\u00a0Elena, who have contributed to the success of the Vietti brand \u2013 universally recognized today as being one of the very finest Italian wine labels \u2013 by continuing along the path of the pursuit of quality, considered experimentation and working for expansion and consolidation internationally.\r\nIn\u00a02016\u00a0the historic winery was acquired by Krause Holdings, enabling Luca and Elena, always at the head of Vietti brand, to add a number of prized crus to the estate\u2019s holdings, and be able as a result to look to a future with new, stimulating prospects, all while maintaining the family approach for which the cellar has always been known. |
