Vietti "La Crena" Barbera d'Asti 2022

A Barbera d'Asti DOCG from Vietti, from the La Crena area in Agliano Terme. The oldest part of the vineyard dates to 1932, on mixed silt and clay soil facing south. Fermentation takes place over about two weeks in open steel tanks, followed by post-fermentative maceration on the skins, malolactic fermentation in barriques, and ageing for about 18 months across barriques, large casks and steel. Ruby red in colour, with cherry, blueberry and vanilla aromas, an intense palate and a liquorice note on the finish. Elegant and highly drinkable, it suits roast and braised meats and aged cheeses.
