Medium Ruby with aromas of fresh berry fruits, floral and sweet spice. On the palate this medium body wine shows flavors of juicy blueberry and blackberry with notes of herbs and vanilla spice. Dusty tannin structure, lively acidity, medium ending with crisp fruit finish. Nice value. Drink now, consistent, no aging benefit. — 6 days ago

The 2021 Barbera d'Alba Tre Vigne is a fabulous, explosive wine. Sumptuous dark cherry, ripe plum, mocha, licorice and new leather are all dialed up to the maximum. This racy, deep Barbera is tremendous. For its quality-to-price ratio, the Alba Tre Vigne might be the wine of the year at Vietti. $25.00 (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, February 2024) — 3 months ago

Ruby with a rich bouquet of fruit, spices and floral notes. On the palate flavors of cherry and ripe raspberry with notes of pepper and cinnamon. Long finish, nice balance with fine soft tannins ending with earthy sweet notes. Enjoyable now, a few more years will benefit. — 8 days ago

Wonderful wine. Confirmed my sense that the 90s will not improve from here. If you’re holding them, time to drink up. — 10 days ago

On the nose, this is cherry and blueberry... On the palate the cherry is concentrated... The blueberry is also there... Savory, fatty... The tanning here is medium and chewy... The bright, fruity finish is just medium but the tannin lingers long... I quite like this tannin effect here. I paired this with crackers and an aged Gouda, but really I think this could have paired with a variety of foods. Decent acidity to hold its own against a variety of foods as long as they're kept simple. — 2 months ago

Similar to the 2018 but seemingly more fruit. Melon and pear are really dominating, no complaints here. A little fizzante. Strong minerality helps it linger on the palate. Definitely a food wine. — 2 months ago
