This is one of the best Barberas I’ve ever had. It does show the typical baking soda and cherry on the nose and palate, but it’s so interesting and multi-faceted on the palate with layers of fruit, tobacco, leather, earth, and did I mention the laser focused plum and black cherry fruit? Just an amazing wine, especially considering it’s low price. Given that a 2004 I had recently was seemingly over the hill, I won’t advocate holding this one. It’s delicious right now and ready to please. Time to pop these with some pasta, pizza, or in our case tonight, roast chicken.
2006 Vietti Barbera d’Alba Tre Vigne (Italy, Piedmont, Alba, Barbera d’Alba)
