Vietti’s 2003 Barbera d’Alba Scarrone represents a terrific achievement in this important vintage for Barbera. It bursts from the glass with a superb nose of smoke, toasted oak and flowers. Full and dense on the palate, it offers sensations of ripe dark red to black fruit with excellent persistence, finishing with good freshness and acidity. It is a wine of tremendous harmony and balance. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2010. Importer: Remy Cointreau USA, New York, NY; tel. (212) 424-2204
