Barbera d’Alba Vigna Vecchia (Old Vineyard) 'Scarrone' by Vietti from the oldest part of the vineyard located in Castiglione Falletto in the Scarrone area. The already naturally low production resulting from the age of the vines is further reduced with a severe selection that leads to a lower yield of wine per hectare. Intense aromas of ripe red and black cherries, vanilla and hints of spice. Fresh acidity. Great finesse, excellent balance, great complexity with a persistent finish. Aging for 18 months in barriques, cask and steel. It goes well with stews, pasta, game, roasted meat and strong cheeses.

For four generations the Vietti family produces wines in Castiglione Falletto, in the heart of the Langhe. At the beginning of '900, the son Mario began selling Barolo they had been manufacturing, focusing the company exclusively winemaking family activity. Since the '60s is the daughter Lucia, with her husband winemaker Alfredo Conrad, to carry on the work of the Vietti winery, concentradosi increasingly on a high quality production. Alfredo Conrad was the first to select and vinify grapes from single vineyard concept at that time radical, but now applied to almost all companies that produce Barolo and Barbaresco. The other great Alfredo pioneering vision was to enhance the Arneis, native vine long forgotten by the producers of the zone: the winery started to vinify in purity, and so did other manufacturers later, bringing today Arneis to be the most important grape white grape of the area. Today Vietti is considered one of the greatest Barolisti semi-traditional, doing a masterful use of both barrels of barrels that.
