Vietti Barbera D'asti Trevie 2022

Served @ DB's "Great underlying Winemaker's" Tasting 

Located in the heart of the Langhe hills, at the top of the village of Castiglione Falletto, the Vietti wine cellar was founded in the late 1800's by Carlo Vietti. The estate has gradually grown over the course of time, and today the vineyards include some of the most highly prized terroirs within the Barolo and Barbaresco winegrowing areaS. 

Although they have been making wine for four generations, the turning point came in the 1960's when Luciana Vietti married winemaker and art connoisseur Alfredo Currado, whose intuitions - from the production of one of the first Barolo crus (Rocche di Castiglione - 1961), through the single-varietal vinification of Arneis (1967) to the invention of Artist Labels (1974) - made him both symbol and architect of some of the most significant revolutions of the time. 

Alfredo’s intellectual, professional, and prospective legacy was taken up by Luca Currado Vietti (Luciana and Alfredo’s son) and his wife Elena, who contributed greatly to the success of the Vietti brand before their departure in 2023. In 2016 the historic winery was acquired by Krause family. Over the last seven year, they have added a number of prized crus to the estate’s holdings. In 2022 the winery was named Winery of the Year by Antonio Galloni of Vinous.

Tasting Notes: The Barbera d'Alba TreVie by Vietti reveals itself with a ruby red color with purple reflections. On the nose, it offers scents of small red fruits, roses, and violets combined with hints of vanilla and dark oriental spices. The sip is harmonious and full-bodied, supported by a well-balanced acidity and well-integrated tannins. Excellent as an all-meal wine, it is best enjoyed with cheeses and meat dishes. Try it with a delicious eggplant parmigiana.
