Vietti Perbacco Langhe Nebbiolo DOC 2022 Rated 93WA

Wine Advocate Review
Rated 93
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. Drink 2025-2032.

Wine Tasting Notes
Commonly referred to as a "baby Barolo," Vietti Perbacco Langhe Nebbiolo DOC is exclusively made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes sourced from fifteen different Grand Cru vineyards in Barolo. The winery has recently incorporated a small portion of grapes from its Barbaresco vineyards into the blend. Each vineyard is vinified separately, aged in oak for two years (similar to Barolo), and then carefully selected to showcase the vintage's expression before being blended together.

Perbacco is considered an exceptional value, designed to highlight the full complexity of the region and the Nebbiolo grape variety for both novice and experienced wine enthusiasts.
