Notes on the Wine
This is a beautiful, elegant expression of Barbera from Piedmont. It has bright red berry fruit flavors surrounded by spice nuances and supported by fine tannins that soften as the wine opens to allow dorak fruit flavors and a richer mid-palate to develop. This wine represents fantastic value for Piedmont and is one of the better sub $20 italian reds out there.

Wine Advocate - 91 Points
"The Vietti 2018 Barbera d'Asti Tre Vigne is a vibrant red wine teeming with energy and electricity. Those berry tones of cassis, cranberry and black currant pop from the glass. Primary fruit remains the focus, but that fruit is nicely framed by contours of spice and toasted nut. The grapes harvested for this wine represent a second selection from some of the same parcels that make the Barbera d'Asti La Crena. This cool-vintage expression is just lovely, informal and fun."
