Vietti Barbera d'Alba Trevìe

Barbera d'Alba from vineyards in Castiglione Falletto, Monforte d'Alba, La Morra and other Langhe villages.

Tasting notes

Ruby red with aromas of ripe cherries and vanilla. Notes of violet and a rounder structure than the Barbera d'Asti Trevìe. Brilliant acidity and sweet tannins on the palate, with a balanced presence of wood. Good complexity and a persistent cherry finish.
