Vietti Barbera d`Asti La Crena 2006 is a medium- to full-bodied, single-vineyard red wine from the Asti commune of Piedmont, northern Italy. Located in the village of Castiglione Falletto, Vietti was founded in the late 1800s by Carlo Vietti. The estate has gradually grown to become one of the most reputable producers Piedmont, boasting vineyard holdings in many of the most highly prized terroirs within the Barolo and Barbaresco appellations. The La Crena Barbera is produced from a single vineyard of clay-limestone soil located near the village of Agliano Terme in Asti. The oldest part of the vineyard was planted in 1932. The wine was matured in a combination of barriques, large oak vats and steel tanks for approximately 18 months. Producer note. "Ruby red colour with aroma of intense and ripe red raspberry and cherry fruit, combined with spicy notes. Enveloping and full-bodied on the palate, with a strong acidity in the finish, that gives verticality and elegance to the wine.

The 2006 Barbera d`Asti La Crena is a dense, brooding effort loaded with mineral-infused dark fruit, violets, graphite, flowers and French oak. This is an especially seamless yet mid-weight La Crena built on elegance rather than power, with an impeccably clean, polished finish that rounds things out. Usually I prefer Barbera on the young side, but La Crena truly sings around age ten or so. It remains one of the most under-the-radar wines in Piedmont. La Crena is made from vines that are over 70 years old in Agliano, one of the most provileged sites for Barbera in Piedmont. - Antonio Galloni
