Tre Vigne Barbera d'Asti
This is now the “Trevie” @Delectable though it’s been called “Tre Vigne” in the past? Dark red fruits and fine grained tannins that are well balanced. Italian to the core. Hard to go wrong with this producer. 14.5% abv. but wears it well.

Aug 31st, 2024Medium 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.

Apr 25th, 2024In our blind tasting group, only 1 of 5 nailed this as Barbera. Less extracted and lighter in weight, the ripeness in this fruit made us think we were drinking something from southern Italy. My guess is that some of this Barbera was picked a little later in the harvest. Value wine for sure, but I've had better for the price.

Aug 6th, 2019From the depths of studying-Italy-is-hell I bring you Barbera-is-heaven. Seriously WHY are we not coveting all the (good) Barbera. This is the stuff and people still don’t know so the price is...oh wait, hush, don’t tell anyone! I’d like to keep buying it at these prices though it deserves far more. It goes down like flower-enchanted Pinot Noir that is unmistakably Italian. It just has that extra kick of sour and earth that alerts one from whence it came. It’s all vibrant red fruits and pickled things and maybe some balsamic and maybe all those things had a yacht party in oak. New and used. Like this wine’s soul.
