2023 was a balanced year in Piedmont with sunny days and cooling nights, allowing the Barbera grapes to ripen slowly, retaining their bright acidity, fruit intensity, and elegant structure. Barbera is one of Piedmont's most authentic varietals: it naturally provides a rich color, abundant aromas of red and dark berries, and a vibrant acidity that brings life even to rich wines.

The aroma is dominated by red cherries, strawberries, and red currants, accompanied by earthy, light spice and herbal notes. On the palate, the wine is dry, medium-bodied, with vibrant acidity and soft, round tannins that balance the fruit richness. The finish is pleasant and fruit-driven, with a subtle herbal or spicy undertone that highlights the character of the local Barbera.

About the manufacturer

Vietti is one of the most prestigious and longest-running Barolo wineries in Piedmont, founded in the late 19th century. From the very beginning, this farm has strived not only for high quality, but also for terroir expression - the expression of the uniqueness of each plot in the wines. They are famous for taking the differences of local positions (cru) seriously, rather than just a common name, and therefore have an excellent reputation for consistently high quality and revealing the specificity of the region.
Vietti winery has been shaped for many years by Luca Currado, a fifth-generation winemaker who returned to the family estate in 1991 and, together with his wife Elena Penna, has built a reputation over the decades as one of the most important producers of Barolo and other Piedmontese wines; they not only oversaw production and managed the winery, but also combined classic traditional methods with expressive terroir, consistently developing the managed cru plots and the potential of indigenous varieties. The Currado family's connection with Vietti began in the mid-20th century, when his father Alfredo Currado, together with Luciana Vietti, established new directions for quality – creating one of the first Barolo Cru (Rocche di Castiglione) in 1961 and helping to establish the importance of local localities throughout the Langhe zone's winemaking, and later Luca continued this vision with respect for terroir and clearly structured, elegant wines.
