Winemaker Notes

The spiritual home of Barbera is in the Monferrato hills of Asti province east of the Langhe. Vietti sources the Barbera grapes for this wine from vineyards in the Grand Cru area of Asti, in Agliano Terme where their La Crena vineyard is located. The grapes for Trevìe come from La Crena and adjacent vineyards.The wine is aged 12 months in a combination of barriques, large oak cask and stainless steel. Due to changes in labeling laws, the word "Vigne" could not continued to be used on the label. With the 2022 vintage, "Tre Vigne" becomes Trevìe" which refer to the three Vietti wines in this line.

Although they had been making wine for four generations, the turning point came at the end of the 1950's when Luciana Vietti married winemaker and art connoisseur Alfredo Currado, whose intuitions - from the production of one of the first Barolo crus (1961 - Roc…
