Description
The Vietti Barbera d'Alba Scarrone represents the pinnacle of the expression of the Barbera grape in Piedmont. Crafted by the legendary Vietti winery, this single-vineyard red wine comes from the prestigious Scarrone vineyard, located in Castiglione Falletto, in the heart of the Barolo zone. The vines, planted on clay-limestone soils, bestow an unmatched complexity and structure upon this wine. Its aging in French oak barrels and Slavonian oak foudres for approximately 16 months gives it a velvety texture and a long, persistent finish. This wine is not only a testament to the exceptional terroir of Castiglione Falletto, but also to Vietti's winemaking mastery, establishing itself as an essential choice for collectors and lovers of great Italian wines. Furthermore, its aging potential ensures that it will evolve favorably over the next decade, developing fascinating tertiary nuances.
