Vietti 2023 Barbera d’Asti “Tre Vigne” DOCG 750ml
This is one of the benchmark value wines of Piedmont—a bright, food-driven Barbera with real pedigree. The 2023 Tre Vigne delivers fresh cherry fruit, vibrant acidity, and clean balance, making it incredibly versatile and easy to sell. A high-rotation, high-quality Italian red that consistently overdelivers for the price.
Origins & Craftsmanship
Produced by Vietti, one of Piedmont’s most respected estates, Tre Vigne is sourced from a network of vineyards across the Asti zone, including fruit from historic sites that also feed their higher-end bottlings.
The wine is made from 100% Barbera, a grape defined by naturally high acidity and bright fruit expression. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel over roughly two weeks, followed by malolactic fermentation and aging across a mix of steel, large casks, and some barrique, allowing for integration without masking freshness.
The goal is clear:
– Preserve purity of fruit
– Maintain lift and energy
– Deliver a complete, balanced expression of Barbera d’Asti
The “Tre Vigne” name reflects the blending of multiple vineyard sources to achieve consistency and complexity.
