Vietti - Perbacco Nebbiolo - Langhe

Overview: The Vietti winery, now managed by the family’s fifth generation, is based in the small medieval village of Castiglione Falletto, the heart of Piedmont’s famous “Langhe” wine region. Here the Currado family carefully and patiently handcrafts lauded wines that are the result of a unique combination of sun and soil. Although the family has made wine for two centuries, the first Vietti-labeled wines were produced by third-generation Mario, who transformed the family’s farm into a grape growing winery. In 1952  Luciana Vietti married winemaker and art connoisseur Alfredo Currado, whose intuitions – from the production of one of the first Barolo crus (Rocche di Castiglione – 1965), through the single-varietal vinification of Arneis (1967) to the invention of Artist Labels (1974) – made him both symbol and architect of some of the most significant revolutions of the time.

This bottle of 100% Nebbiolo has fruit coming from 7 different vineyards, mostly crus in Barolo and Barbaresco areas such as Le Coste Liste, Bricco Boschis, Ginestra, Rocchettevino Ciabot Berton and Bussia in Barolo with Pajore and Montaribaldi, in the Barbaresco side. Each site is vinified and aged separately, and a certain selection of the wines is then blended together to create 'Perbacco'. After malolactic fermentation in a combination of barrique and large Slavonian casks, the wine keeps aging in oak for 2 years in barrel. Blending takes place in stainless steel tanks prior to bottling. 

Tasting Notes: Aromatically the wine is well perfumed with dusty red fruit flavors and dried violets. On the palate, the wine is rich with ripe red fruit flavors such as cherries and raspberries, as well as notes of fine pepper and minerality.
