Vietti Barbera d'Asti Tre Vigne 2014

A great everyday Barbera from a brilliant multi-generational family winery. The grapes for this wine are grown in Agliano d’Asti in the La Crena site, with the oldest of those vines used for Vietti's Cru La Crena. The wine is vinified in stainless steel tanks, and at the end of the malolactic fermentation, the wine is moved into French oak barrels and Slovanian casks for 16 months, then into steel tanks 2 months before bottling. Unfiltered. A striking red/purple color, strong fruit nose, fresh acidity to perfectly compliment food, and a long, smooth finish. Albeisa bottle. Ooga-booga label.
