A wine with character and a distinct identity: the grapes come from the renowned Scarrone vineyard, situated directly below Castiglione Falletto – a warm south-east-facing slope with calcareous marl soils. Vietti cultivates the vineyard according to organic principles (uncertified) and vinifies the Vigna Scarrone with respect for the grape variety and terroir. Temperature-controlled maceration is followed by ageing in large casks and used barriques.

In the glass, it is a deep purplish red with a violet core. The bouquet is complex and clearly defined: black cherry, blackberry and dried plum combine with notes of violets, liquorice, pipe tobacco and a hint of cedarwood. On the palate, the wine reveals itself to be multi-layered and focused: powerful, yet not overpowering, with juicy fruit, lively acidity and tightly structured tannins. The texture is supple, the spice precise, and the finish long and elegant with a delicate mineral aftertaste. A great Barbera that combines depth and finesse in a remarkable way – exemplifying Vietti's ability to produce terroir-driven red wines of the highest calibre. SUPERIORE.DE

"The Barbera d'Alba Vigna Scarrone 2023 is a marvellous wine. It captivates with an impressive blend of richness and vibrancy. harvestwho prefer Barbera wines that are more refined and less opulent than those from warmer vintages will love this wine. The 2023 is not an overpowering wine; rather, it impresses with its multi-layered fruit aromas that gradually unfold in the glass. Graphite, new leather, baking spices and chocolate lend it further complexity." Vinous
