Vietti Barbera d'Alba Vigna Vecchia Scarrone 2023

Vietti’s Barbera d’Alba Vigna Vecchia Scarrone is a concentrated expression of Barbera from the historic Scarrone vineyard in Castiglione Falletto. Made from exceptionally old vines, some planted in 1918, it combines ripe, dark fruit with fresh acidity and a distinctive mineral edge.

Tasting Notes
Deep in colour, the wine opens with aromas of ripe cherry and blackberry, followed by hints of vanilla and spice. The palate is dry and full-bodied, with generous fruit, lively acidity, firm yet polished tannins and a savoury mineral note. Its finish is intense and persistent.

Production
The grapes come from south-east-facing, low-yielding old vines in Scarrone, in the heart of the Barolo area. Vineyard work follows sustainable principles, and the site is in the process of conversion to organic farming. After a cold pre-fermentation maceration, fermentation takes place in stainless steel for around two weeks, with pigeage and pump-overs. Malolactic fermentation follows in barrels, and the wine is aged for 18 months, first in steel and then in wood.

Food & Serving
Its bright acidity and substantial structure make it a good match for rich dishes such as braised beef, roast lamb, game or hearty mushroom pasta. Serve at around 16–18°C. A short decant before serving can help the wine open up, particularly when young.

Producer
Vietti is a long-established family winery based in Castiglione Falletto, where it has helped shape the reputation of the Langhe’s wines. Best known internationally for its Barolo, the estate also produces characterful wines from regional varieties such as Barbera. Its work with distinctive vineyard sites, including Scarrone, reflects a strong focus on expressing the Piedmontese terroir.
