Characteristics of Vietti La Crena 2021 wine

What a Barbera!!! I would say excellent, intense ruby red color with violet reflections, the nose has fruity notes of blackberries, blueberries, plums, spicy and balsamic notes, you can smell the scent from a meter away. On the palate it is full-bodied, structured with great minerality and good acidity, the red fruits return and the persistence is good. Very long-lived wine, which can only improve.

Vietti winery

Each wine is the result of artisanal work, understanding and interpretation of each individual terroir hence the Masseria in Barbaresco, Scarrone and Vigna Vecchia in Barbera d'Alba, La Crena in Barbera d'Asti.

Vietti is thus the place where the intelligence of the hands, applied in the vineyard and in the cellar, meets vision.
