Log in / Sign up Vietti Barbera d’Alba Scarrone Magnum 1.5L 2021
The grapes chosen for this exceptional wine hail exclusively from the Scarrone vineyard in Castiglione Falletto, where 6,500 meticulously tended plants per hectare contribute to its unparalleled quality. In a carefully orchestrated process, the must undergoes an artful two-week-long open fermentation in stainless-steel tanks, precisely maintained at 26-28°C.
Following this initial fermentation, the wine indulges in an additional week of maceration, heightening its complexity and character. Subsequently, the elixir is transferred to oak barrels, where the nuanced interplay of flavors is further refined during the crucial malolactic fermentation stage.
The Vietti family has been producing wine in Castiglione Falletto in the heart of Le Langhe in Piedmont for five generations, with 33 estate vineyards located across all 11 communes designated for the cultivation and production of Barolo, plus Roero for Arneis and Agliano Asti for Barbera and Moscato.
In 2016 Vietti was purchased by the American Krause family, however current generation winemaker Luca Currado-Vietti continues to direct the Vietti Estate meticulously, together with his wife Elena Penna-Currado, to produce some of the finest and most representative wines of Le Langhe.
