A wine with origin and signature: The grapes come from the renowned Scarrone vineyard directly below Castiglione Falletto – a warm south-east exposure with calcareous marl soils. Vietti cultivates the vineyard organically and vinifies the Vigna Scarrone with respect for the grape variety and terroir. Temperature-controlled maceration is followed by ageing in large barrels and used barriques – an approach that promotes both structure and elegance.

The colour in the glass is deep purple with a violet core. The bouquet is complex and clearly contoured: black cherry, blackberry and dried plum combine with notes of violet, liquorice, pipe tobacco and a hint of cedar. On the palate, the wine is complex and focussed: powerful but not overloaded, with juicy fruit, lively acidity and tightly woven tannins. The texture is supple, the flavour precise, the finish long and elegant with a fine mineral aftertaste. A great Barbera that combines depth and finesse in a remarkable way – exemplary of Vietti's ability to interpret red wines characterised by their terroir at a high level. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright purple red with a brightening rim. Fragrant bouquet with notes of blackberries and sour cherries, preceded by the scent of roses, liquorice and a pinch of pepper. Velvety texture on the palate, with well-integrated tannins and plenty of fresh fruit through to the long finish." Falstaff

"The Barbera d'Alba Vigna Scarrone 2022 is an elegant wine with class. Today's Scarrone combines finesse and power with remarkable style. Racy, dark red plums, mocha, new leather, liquorice and spices are beautifully brought out. This deep, elegant Barbera is a real stunner." Vinous

"The Vietti 2022 Barbera d'Alba Vigna Scarrone offers a deep, rich colour, sweet tannins and powerful fruit flavours from vines planted in 1989. The fruit of the Scarrone always has a hint of freshness, as these vines are on the eastern slope." Wine Advocate
