Wine Advocate, 93 Points 

"Starting with the 2019 vintage, Vietti's Barolos and Barberas are all certified organic. The 2019 Barbera d'Asti La Crena (with 10,000 bottles made) is a darkly concentrated wine with abundant black fruit and dark spice. Fruit for La Crena comes from the heart of the Nizza region that is dedicated to the Barbera grape. In this case, old vines were planted between 1932 and 1935. The results are aged in both barrique and botte, and the wine is syrupy thick and powerful (with 15% alcohol) on the close." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Aromatically the wine has ripe notes of red raspberries, cherries, with lingering hints of warm baking scents. On the palate this Barbera is richer in style, being much more red fruit-forward, balancing acidity and well-integrated oak."  

Alcohol: 15%
