Its intense ruby colour precedes a dark bouquet of blueberry, iris and undergrowth, combined with hints of cinchona, liquorice and sweet tobacco. On the palate, it reveals a dense texture, supported by an excellent balance between \u003cstrong\u003efreshness and smoothness\u003c\/strong\u003e. The rounded tannins lead the \u003cstrong\u003elong fruity persistence\u003c\/strong\u003e towards a slightly bitter finish, making it ideal with roasted red meats, game and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine originates in Piedmont, in the Asti area, from the \u003cstrong\u003eLa Crena vineyard\u003c\/strong\u003e in Agliano Terme. The vines, well exposed to the south, grow on \u003cstrong\u003esilty-clay soil\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is essential for giving depth and body to the glass. Trained using the Guyot system, cultivation follows the strict principles of \u003cstrong\u003eorganic and sustainable agriculture\u003c\/strong\u003e. This approach preserves the connection with the environment, ensuring a pronounced aromatic identity and the solid acidic structure necessary for remarkable longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe process begins with a \u003cstrong\u003ecold pre-fermentation maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by alcoholic fermentation in open steel vats. Punching down and pumping over accompany the time on the skins for optimal structural extraction. After racking, \u003cstrong\u003emalolactic fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e takes place in barriques, thus softening the dense texture of the must. Ageing lasts about eighteen months and is divided between steel, barriques and \u003cstrong\u003elarge casks\u003c\/strong\u003e, creating a solid harmony and an elegant woody imprint.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1873 in Castiglione Falletto, the Vietti winery combines historic family tradition with a lively creative flair.
