Barbera d’Alba Trevìe DOC 2022 1500ml Magnum

Wine Description for Barbera d’Alba Trevìe DOC 2022 1500ml Magnum by Vietti

Character

Vietti’s Barbera d’Alba Trevìe is a textbook example of how seriously the winery from Castiglione Falletto takes the often underestimated Barbera. At 14.5% Vol., this wine showcases the ripe, powerful side of the 2022 vintage, yet remains true to the Piedmontese spirit: grounded, direct and of genuine substance. The magnum bottle moreover promises particularly harmonious maturation – a format that gives the wine time and space to unfold with full dignity.

Terroir & Origin

The grapes for the Trevìe come from the hills surrounding Alba, the heart of Piedmont. The 2022 vintage was characterised in Piedmont by exceptional warmth and dryness – a summer that produced concentrated, ripe fruit, yet demanded craftsmanship in both vineyard and cellar. The calcareous clay and sandy soils of the Langhe impart the Barbera with its characteristic freshness and depth, even in warm years.

Grape Variety & Vinification

The Barbera is Piedmont’s great everyday variety – yet in the hands of Vietti it becomes far more than that. Naturally high acidity and rich dark fruit are the hallmarks of the variety; Vietti complements this through meticulous vinification and thoughtful oak ageing that lends structure without masking the variety’s characteristic vibrancy. The result is a wine with character and presence – not merely a companion, but a wine with its own aspirations.

Food Pairing Recommendations

The acidity structure and fruit fullness of Barbera make this wine a versatile table companion. In classic Piedmontese fashion, it pairs beautifully with Tajarin al ragù, Brasato al Barolo or Vitello tonnato. Equally, it harmonises with Pizza Napoletana, grilled sausages or a hearty tomato sugo. The magnum is particularly recommended for convivial gatherings, where the wine can take centre stage.
