Vietti Tre Vigne, Barbera D’Asti 2014 DOCG, Piemonte, Italy

Tasting Note: The most premium Barbera produced in Italy comes from the Asti region in Piemonte where the grape matures on the best southern-facing hill sites.

This bottle of barbera provides a good example of the grape thriving in its element.

Medium-intensity purple in color, this aromatic wine has a nose of raspberry, strawberry, black plum and hints of chocolate with vanilla and clove baking spice.

On the palate the dry, full-bodied barbera reveals red and black fruit flavors suggested on the nose underpinned by high acidity.

The wine has structure and mid-palate complexity with tart, yet ripe fruit notes running throughout the length of the taste through to a medium-plus finish.

The barbera has a velvety texture and would pair well with a myriad of dishes.
