The 2021 Vietti Langhe Nebbiolo Perbacco is a bold yet elegant expression of Nebbiolo, crafted from fruit sourced across 10 esteemed Barolo vineyard sites. Aged for two years in large oak casks, it delivers vibrant red fruit layered with spice, menthol, and a touch of sweetness. Rich in texture and aromatic depth, this wine offers the structure and complexity of a young Barolo, while remaining approachable in its youth. Ideal alongside game, roasts, or aged cheeses.

Spicy and quite marked in terms of its aromatic intensity, the Vietti 2021 Langhe Nebbiolo Perbacco is a more elaborate expression of the grape that has been softened by oak, spice and well-ripened fruit. It ages in large wood botte for two years. The wine has a velvety quality that helps to coat the palate, and you get a lot of stuffing here in terms of texture and lasting fruit flavors. Fruit not directly used for the Barolo Castiglione goes to this wine instead. Some 40,000 bottles are for sale.

Vietti has access to Nebbiolo from 10 MGA sites to make the various wines in its ample portfolio. We also have a new wine to celebrate—the 2019 Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà—that knocks it out of the ballpark with its inaugural release.
