This Vietti Barbera d’Alba Vigna Vecchia Scarrone, from a 2021 vintage, is expected to exhibit the classic vibrant acidity and juicy dark fruit profile characteristic of Barbera, elevated by the ‘Vigna Vecchia’ (old vine) designation and single-vineyard origin. Aromas will likely include ripe cherry, blackberry, plum, with hints of violet, licorice, and a subtle earthiness. On the palate, it will be medium to full-bodied with a fresh, lively acidity that perfectly balances the concentrated fruit flavors. Expect a smooth tannin structure and a persistent finish, possibly with notes of spice or cocoa from any oak aging (which Vietti often employs judiciously for their top wines).
