2022 Vietti Barbera d'Alba Trevie, Italy, Piedmont, Wine Review

This is their basic Barbera sourced from multiple vineyards. A truly excellent value and a great wine for the dinner table. Ruby/purple in color, mostly clear and bright. The nose is deep with black raspberries, some black cherries, slight spice and sage. Medium bodied. Medium tannins. Good acidity (less than I expected). On the palate, black cherries, cranberries, raspberries. Clean. Long finish. This wine begs for food (it is 100% Barbera). At great choice for Pizza night. Drink over the next five to seven years.

This is 100% Barbera grapes from the La Crena vineyard in Piemonte, Italy. Purple in color with ruby swirls. Darker at the core. Clear and bright. The nose is earthy with cherries, and black raspberries. Light to medium tannins. Good acidity. On the palate, this has a nice depth and complexity. Flavors of black cherries and black raspberries. Long finish. This wine desperately begs for food to work with the acidity and the tannins. it will work nicely with grilled Lamb Chops or Pasta with a Bolognese sauce. Drink over the next five to eight years.

Everytime I drink a Barbera likes this I think I need to drink more Barbera. This is outstanding and while this vintage is mostly gone, newer vintages are good and sell for under $40. Deep garnet in color, mostly clear and bright. The nose is nice with cherries, black cherries, anise and baking spices. Medium bodied. A nice backbone of acidity. Light tannins. On the palate, fresh pure black cherry fruit with some spice. Long finish. This is made for food and will work great with pasta, mushrooms, and especially pizza. Drink over the next seven to ten years.

Always a treat to try one of the most iconic Barbera's made. And, to get a chance to try one with ten years on it is a real treat. The wine did not disappoint. Deep ruby in color. The nose has cranberries, slight sour cherries and a very interesting mint note. This is a big fruit wine (especially for Barbera) with nice cherries and red currants. There is also a strong backbone of acidity that helps this work so well with food. Deep and some complexity, it still seems like it could go another decade with no problem. This can handle the hearties of meat dishes but is lively enough for

Barbera is an interesting grape and the wines produced from it cover a wide range of styles and price points. This is at the lower end of the price range, but the wine easily has the quality of wines three or four times as expensive. Garnet in color, clear and bright. The nose has cherries, black cherries and slight dust. Medium bodied. Strong acidity. Light tannins. On the palate, black cherry fruit with great acidity. Nice finish. This wine demands food. All of the classic "Italian Night" foods such as pizza, spaghetti, other pastas, etc.
