Vietti - Nebbiolo Perbacco 2022 750ml

Vietti Perbacco Nebbiolo offers a prestigious taste of the Piedmont region at an approachable level. Often described by sommeliers as a "Baby Barolo," this wine is sourced from the same prized vineyards that produce the estate's top-tier Barolo and Barbaresco bottlings. The winemaking team applies their philosophy of the "intelligence of the hands," treating these grapes with the same reverence as their single-vineyard crus.

The production process is rigorous and patient. Each vineyard plot is vinified separately to preserve its unique character. The juice ferments for up to four weeks to extract deep color and structure. Following this, the wine ages for nearly two years in a combination of barriques and large wooden casks. This extended rest allows the liquid to develop complexity and polish before the final blend is created in stainless steel tanks.

In the glass, the wine reveals a complex bouquet of red raspberry and currant. Distinct notes of fresh mint and baking spice add layers of intrigue. The palate is defined by tannins that are round and elegant, supporting a robust body. While it is intense and powerful in its youth, it possesses the structure to evolve and soften with age. It serves as a perfect introduction to the noble wines of northern Italy.
