Made with precious old vines, some of which have reached the 100-year mark, the Vietti 2017 Barbera d'Alba Scarrone Vigna Vecchia is a deep, dark and luscious red wine. It tops the charts in terms of color intensity and fruit heft. The concentration and density of the wine is considerable; however, the mouthfeel never feels heavy or overdone. Yes, this is a dark and brooding Barbera, but that fresh acidity gives the wine a little skip and jump in its proverbial footsteps. That condensed fruit is followed by rusty nail, crushed stone and black licorice.

Ripe, velvety and dense, this red features pure black cherry, blackberry and graphite flavors. Balanced and long, echoing the fruit and adding a touch of spice on the finish. Drink now through 2024. 358 cases made, 90 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barbera d'Alba Select to Add
