Just when I think I'm bored with the same old wines I open something like this and all is well. Not profound or anything like that but definitely good with food. It is quite a deal at under $20 if you can find it. K&L has it for $17.99.
- 2005 Vietti Barbera d'Asti Tre Vigne - Italy, Piedmont, Asti, Barbera d'Asti (1/25/2008)
Bright ruby red in color. Penetrating nose of plums, spices and a touch of vanilla. More plums and spice flavors leading into a slightly clipped, aromatic finish. It was balanced with a nice velvet texture. Good with pizza. As others note a heavy meat dish would probably overwhelm this wine. (89 pts.)

This was also a good winery visit in Piedmont. Even after a long day of tasting wines I liked the Barbera.
