The palate is full and generous, carrying rich tannins and enough fresh acidity to keep everything in balance through a long finish. Barbera 100%.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe producer\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Vietti family has made wine from the heart of the Langhe since the 1800s, when Carlo Vietti established the winery in the medieval village of Castiglione Falletto; in 1961 the estate produced one of the very first single-vineyard Barolo crus, and in 2016 the Krause family took ownership. The fruit here is drawn from the single vineyard of Scarrone in Castiglione Falletto, planted at 6,500 vines per hectare on limestone and clay with a south-eastern aspect that takes the warm afternoon sun, and picked by hand at optimum phenolic ripeness. Fermentation ran with selected yeasts in open stainless steel at 26 to 28°C, followed by a further week of maceration, malolactic conversion in oak and eighteen months in French oak barriques, of which 20% were new.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood and drinking\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe at 16 to 18°C.
