Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

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

Love aged Barbera from Asti. Vietti’s 2001 La Crena is deep, dense and explosive, with many years of fine drinking ahead....
