Score 90+/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Nov 2011

(aged for five months in barriques , than racked into larger casks): Very deep red with ruby tones. Wild aromas of currant, meat, graphite and oak. Layered and thick yet light on its feet, with good lift and minerality to the dark berry and cocoa powder flavors. Very youthful and sharply delineated. Can't match the 2006 version for sheer size and structure but this is a bit more refined on the back end.

Score 94/100 · Drink 2012-2019, Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate, Dec 2010

Vietti’s 2007 Barbera d’Asti La Crena is a thrilling glass of wine. Jammy dark fruit, minerals, spices and French oak come together beautifully in this opulent, gorgeous La Crena. Today the wine is naturally quite primary, but with another few years in the bottle, it should develop plenty of tertiary nuances. I generally have my best experiences with La Crena around age ten, and have found it to be a wine that can stand side by side with just about anything. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019. Importer: Dalla Terra, Napa, CA; tel. (707) 259-5405
