Barbera d’Alba Trevìe 2022 from Vietti Winery proves that a wine made with simplicity can dazzle with its elegance and character—often outshining far more expensive bottles, without any unnecessary frills. But that’s only possible when it’s crafted by a winery like Vietti, one of Piedmont’s finest, with a rich legacy in Italian winemaking. Its consistently high scores over the years confirm its enduring value and rightful place at the top.
Vietti’s story begins in the late 19th century, in the village of Castiglione Falletto, nestled in the heart of Alba, Piedmont. To this day, it remains a family-run estate, dedicated to producing wines that highlight local grape varieties and the richness of the region. With 75 hectares of vineyards spread across Langhe, Roero, Asti, and Colli Tortonesi, Vietti has earned a stellar reputation for both its single-vineyard wines and its complex blends that beautifully express the land. Its philosophy is rooted in respect for the soil, sustainable farming, and a relentless pursuit of quality—making it one of Italy’s most iconic wineries.
Barbera d’Alba Trevìe 2022 is made from Barbera grapes grown in three distinct vineyards located in Castiglione Falletto, Monforte d’Alba, and La Morra. The soils are rich in limestone and clay, and the vines range in age from 28 to 43 years. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, followed by ageing in a mix of steel, oak barriques, and large oak casks. The result is a juicy red wine that strikes a perfect balance between freshness, complexity, and a subtle touch of oak.
On that evening when the temperature starts to drop, and you close the window to settle in for a film on the sofa, Barbera d’Alba Trevìe 2022 from Vietti is the perfect companion. Especially if you’ve ordered a pepperoni pizza—which you absolutely should!
