The 2016 Barbera d'Alba Vigna Scarrone sees fruit sourced from a vineyard site that is located right under the Vietti household. The vines are 29 years old and are therefore old enough to have lost their youthful vigor, resulting in rich and more concentrated fruit. This balanced and elegant expression offers black fruit aromas that are backed by healthy extraction and density. There is a point of bright acidity on the close. It adds chiseled intensity and focused sharpness.

Though dense and chunky, this red is full of plum and black cherry fruit, shaded by vanilla, chocolate and earth notes. Broad and rangy, with a long, spice-tinged aftertaste. Drink now through 2023. 683 cases made, 167 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barbera d'Alba Select to Add
