Ruby purple color with ripe red cherry aromas and vanilla. With hints of violets the Barbera d'Alba Tre Vigne is slightly rounder in structure than the Barbera d'Asti. On the palate it shows bright acidity, soft tannins with good integration of oak, good complexity and a lingering cherry finish.

90 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: "Good ruby-red. Plum, currant, violet and nutty oak on the rather perfumed nose. Juicy, spicy and aromatic in the mouth, with lovely sweetness and cut. Very suave and scented barbera, with noteworthy spicy length. The crop level here was just 35 hectoliters per hectare, said Currado, adding that "Alba barbera is Grace Kelly while Asti is Mike Tyson." By the way, I find it confusing that there's a Tre Vigne from Alba and one from Asti, but Luca...

90 points Wine Spectator "Bright and fruity, with floral and berry aromas that follow through to a medium body, with fresh acidity and a citrus, raspberry aftertaste. Drink now." (Web only, '08) In addition to being a really nice guy, Luca Currado is one of Barolo's top wine producers. But it is his affordable barberas that really showcase his winemaking prowess. Luca makes two "Tre Vigne" Barbera: The Barbera d'Asti "Tre Vigne" is classically styled with the vibrant acidity traditional in this...

90 pts -Robert Parker I was really surprised by this wine and I love surprises! This wine has a lot more guts and weight to it then your average Barbera. It has a kind of perfumed/earthy nose that continues onto the palate with understated red fruits and dried spices. I always suggest this wine when someone is having Italian, switch out of your Chianti and try this impressive Barbera you won't be sorry! - Maggie's Staff Pick Vietti’s 2006 Barbera d’Alba Tre Vigne is made in the soft, round style...

"The 2006 Barbera dAsti Tre Vigne flows from the glass with a blast of mineral-infused ripe dark fruit, tar, smoke and toasted oak. This medium to full-bodied, brooding Barbera could use another few months in bottle to come together. In this vintage it reveals superb depth and concentration. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2011. "

- Once named Enotria for its abundant vineyards, Italy (thanks to the ancient Greeks and Romans) has had an enormous impact on the wine world. From the shores of Italy, the Romans brought grapes and their winemaking techniques to North Africa, Spain and Portugal, Germany, France, the Danube Valley, the Middle East and even England. Modern Italy, which didn't actually exist as a country until the 1870s, once produced mainly simple, everyday wine. It wasn't until the 1970s that Italy began the change...

Winemaker's notes: Ruby purple color with ripe red cherry aromas with hints of mineral and vanilla. A dry, medium bodied red wine with refreshing acidity (making it perfect to pair with food) and soft tannins, the Barbera d'Asti Tre Vigne is well balanced with good integration of oak, good complexity and a finish of more red cherries.

Domenico Clerico is certainly one of Piedmont's Stars. His wines have incredible concentration, purity of fruit and a supple texture over a powerful core. This 2000 Barbera is no different, the richness of the vintage is laid out on impressive underlying structure, dazzling aromas and balance cap off this super wine. As always his wines are very limited so don't wait.
