Tasted after a private tour with Elena and Lucca of the family estate. They are "crazy" Italian in all of the best ways. Expressive, talented, creative, artistic and masterful, Lucca's grandfather Mario was thought to have lost it when back in the early 1900's he began buying discontinuous plots of land because they exhibited different geologic characteristics. Townsfolk would laugh as "Crazy Vietti" would haul his donkey and cart to the different vineyards when they all farmed and lived on a single plot. That breadth of knowledge defines Vietti today. This Barbera d'Alba is worlds apart from their Barbera d'Asti, a testament to Mario's vision. True to form for Barbera, but more akin to Nebbiolo on the nose and finish. This one intrigues if not familiar or thought Barbera might not be for you (...that was me...). — 9 years ago
