2023 Vietti Langhe Nebbiolo "Perbacco", Piedmont, Italy

ABOUT THE WINE

Vietti’s 2023 Perbacco is made from 100% Nebbiolo, sourced from selected vineyard parcels primarily in the Barolo and Barbaresco areas. The lots are fermented separately, then undergo malolactic fermentation before aging for approximately 18 to 20 months in a combination of barriques and large oak casks. The wine is blended in stainless steel before bottling.

Fragrant notes of raspberry, red currant, mint and spice lead to a focused palate with round, elegant tannins and a long, refined finish. Perbacco offers the character and structure of Nebbiolo in a versatile Langhe expression. Pair with braised meats, mushroom dishes, game or aged cheeses.
