Experience the exceptional quality of Vietti Langhe Nebbiolo Perbacco 2022, a serious and sophisticated expression of Piedmont's noble Nebbiolo grape. Crafted by the renowned Vietti estate, this wine incorporates fruit from prestigious Barolo vineyards including Roncaglie, giving it the DNA and character of wines far above its classification. Aged for two years in large oak barrels, this 750ml bottle delivers remarkable complexity and elegance that rivals many Barbaresco and Barolo wines.
Tasting Profile
This medium-bodied Nebbiolo displays a beautiful medium red hue and opens with vibrant aromas of fresh red berries, crushed flowers, dusty earth, roses, mint, white pepper, and orange peel. The palate is rich and textured with fresh, vertical intensity, featuring flavors of ripe cherry, raspberry, chalk, and fresh spice. Firm, tensile tannins provide structure while maintaining an approachable, refreshing character. The wine finishes long and refined with notable aromatic brightness and presence.
Expert Recognition
Wine Advocate - 93 Points (2022 Vintage)
"Not too far off from tasting and smelling like a full-fledged Barbaresco, or even a Barolo for that matter, since it does technically have the DNA of both. The fruit is delivered with fresh, vertical intensity, and the wine's texture is firm and tensile. I like this vintage more than I thought I would."
Vinous Media - 90 Points (2022 Vintage)
"A very serious wine in its peer group. Crushed flowers, red-toned fruit, chalk, mint, white pepper and orange peel give this rich, textured red notable aromatic brightness and presence. This is far from an easygoing Langhe Nebbiolo."
Jeb Dunnuck - 90 Points (2022 Vintage)
