Vietti Barbera d'Alba Vigna Scarrone 2023

Vietti Barbera d’Alba Vigna Scarrone 2023 is a single-vineyard Barbera from the celebrated Scarrone site in Castiglione Falletto, where organic viticulture and careful cellar work bring the grape’s ripe fruit and lively freshness into focus. Made by the historic Vietti estate, it offers a polished expression of Langhe character, with more depth and structure than an everyday Barbera.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in colour, it opens with ripe red and black cherry aromas, complemented by hints of vanilla and sweet spice. The palate is full-bodied and dry, with generous fruit, bright acidity and a persistent finish that keeps the wine feeling balanced and energetic. Its concentration and freshness give it the structure to develop gracefully in the cellar. It can also be enjoyed now, particularly after a little time to breathe.

Production
The Barbera grapes come from Vigna Scarrone in Castiglione Falletto, a site with a favourable south-eastern exposure that encourages even ripening. The vineyard is farmed with an emphasis on organic sustainability, and the grapes are harvested by hand. After a cold pre-fermentation maceration, fermentation takes place in open-top stainless-steel tanks for around two weeks, with regular cap work and pump-overs. Malolactic fermentation takes place in oak, followed by around 18 months of ageing in stainless steel and wooden casks.

Food & Serving
Serve at around 16–18°C with roast meats, game or mature cheeses; it also works well with hearty pasta dishes. Open the bottle shortly before serving, or decant for about 30 minutes to let its fruit and spice aromas emerge.
