Vietti Barbera d’Alba Vigna Scarrone 2020

The Vietti family has been producing wine in Castiglione Falletto in the heart of Le Langhe in Piedmont for five generations, with 33 estate vineyards located across all 11 communes designated for the cultivation and production of Barolo, plus Roero for Arneis and Agliano Asti for Barbera and Moscato.

The grapes for the Barbera d'Alba Scarrone are selected from the single vineyard Scarrone in Castiglione Falletto. The vineyard has 6500 plants per hectare. For approximately 2 weeks, the must is kept in open stainless-steel tanks for alcoholic fermentation at 26-28°C. After this, the wine macerates for another week and then is moved to oak for malolactic. The wine is aged for 18 months between big oak barrels and barriques.

In the glass this Barbera has a ruby purple colour with intense aromas of ripe red and black cherries. With refreshing acidity, rich tannins, full body, the single vineyard Scarrone has finesse, excellent balance, great complexity, integration and a long lingering finish. Pair this wine with hearty stews, seasoned pasta and poultry with rich sauces, game, roasted red meats and sharp cheese.
