WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Fruity with hints of mint, spices and candy. Round and elegant tannins add to a long and refined finish. Robust, intense, and powerful in its youth while complex and elegant with aging.
Pair with stews, game dishes, roasted red meats and mature cheeses.
TASTING NOTES:
Some fruit from Roncaglie goes into this wine, along with tidbits from other scattered Barolo vineyards. Aged for two years in large oak barrel, the Vietti 2022 Langhe Nebbiolo Perbacco is 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.
-Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 pts.
The 2022 Langhe Nebbiolo Perbacco has a medium red hue and is fruity on the nose, with aromas of fresh red berries, dusty earth, roses, and fresh spice. Medium-bodied, refreshing, and approachable, it offers fine tannins, a delicate, juicy feel on the palate, and a clean finish.
- Jeb Dunnuck, 90 pts.
The 2022 Langhe Nebbiolo Perbacco is 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.
