Vietti Barbera d'Asti Tre Vigne DOC 2024 750ml
Vietti Barbera d'Asti Tre Vigne DOC 2024 is an expressive and food-friendly red wine from one of Piedmont's most respected family-owned estates. Crafted from 100% Barbera, the wine showcases the variety's naturally vibrant acidity, generous fruit character and approachable tannins. Sourced from vineyards around Agliano Terme and the surrounding hills of Asti, the grapes benefit from limestone and clay-rich soils that contribute freshness, structure and mineral complexity. Traditional fermentation and a year of maturation in stainless steel and oak create a beautifully balanced wine that combines fresh fruit purity with subtle richness.
