The 2006 Barbera d’Asti 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. Vietti is one of the most historic properties in Piedmont. The estate is best known for its top-flight Barolos, yet in recent years I have been equally impressed with the entry-level wines. These are among the finest wines being made anywhere in Italy. The Langhe Nebbiolo Perbacco, which is made from Barolo-classified vineyards, in particular, is one of the great values in wine today.

The inky color and lavish oak aromas announce high ambitions. Fortunately, the wine delivers, with luscious caramel and spice box aromas leading into a spicy, concentrated palate with a smattering of finely buffed tannins. Peppery, medium finish. A suave and lusty package. Drink now or lay down for a few years to allow the oak to integrate more fully.——W.E.(2/1/2010)—— 89
