Barbera d'Alba Vigna Vecchia Scarrone 2023 - Vietti

A Barbera d'Alba from Vietti, made from vines over 90 years old in Castiglione Faletto. It is vinified with cold pre-fermentative maceration, followed by two weeks of alcoholic fermentation in steel, then aged for 18 months in steel, large casks and barrique. It shows a ruby red colour, with a deep, complex nose of small red and black berry fruit and sweet spices, especially vanilla. The palate is full-bodied, supported by good acidity, with a smooth, enveloping feel and a persistent finish. It suits stews, game and strongly aged cheeses.
