🧪 Origin & Winemaking

• Produced by Vietti in Piedmont under the Barbera d’Asti DOCG. The wine is sourced from vineyards around Asti—primarily La Crena and nearby hillside sites with limestone and clay soils.

• It’s a 100% Barbera blend, fermented in stainless steel, then aged in oak to impart subtle vanilla lift without overwhelming the fruit.
  

👃 Nose (Aroma)

• Aromatic and inviting: red cherry and plum form the core, accompanied by hints of vanilla and a mineral lift (chalky depth). Violet florals and a touch of earth spice may emerge with time in the glass.
  

👅 Palate & Texture

• Medium-bodied and dry, with lively acidity typical of Barbera.

• Flavors include sour cherry, ripe plum, and light spiced notes—balanced by soft, round tannins and minerality. The texture is smooth, energetic, and food-friendly.
  

🔁 Finish
