Vietti Barbera d' Asti Tre Vigne (Piemonte) 2005



A great Barbera from a multi-generational family winery. The grapes for this wine are from young vines, approximately 10 years old, grown in Agliano d’Asti. The wine is vinified in stainless steel tanks, and at the end of the malolactic fermentation, the wine is moved into French oak barrels for 12 months, then into steel tanks 2 months before bottling. A striking red/purple color, strong fruit nose, fresh acidity to perfectly compliment food, and a long, smooth finish. Albeisa bottle. Ooga-booga label.
