2022 Vietti Perbacco - Langhe - 3 Magnums (1.5L)

“Perbacco” is a red wine from the historic Langarolo Vietti winery that embodies in itself several souls—the different territories from which the Nebbiolo grapes originate, classified to produce Barolo. In fact, the king of Piedmont wines is born, by the winery’s choice, from the different parcels vinified separately that express the vintage at their best. The other resting liquids in the barrels are used for other distinct expressions. In search of the most coherent expressiveness!

The Nebbiolo vines average about 35 years old and come from different vineyards, some classified as Cru of Barolo: Bricco Boschis, Liste, Brunella, Pernano, Crocetta, Fossati, Ravera and Novello, the same ones from which Barolo Castiglione is obtained. Alcoholic fermentation lasts 3–4 weeks in stainless steel at a controlled temperature. Subsequently, the wines are kept resting, still separately, in barriques and large oak casks where they undergo malolactic fermentation. In particular, only some lots obtained from the Cru mature inside the barriques, then complete this phase in large casks for 24 months; the rest only in large casks, always for the same period. At this point, the winery decides which wine will be assembled in steel to give birth to Nebbiolo “Perbacco.” The rest will continue aging.

Once poured into the glass, “Perbacco” presents itself to the eye with a deep ruby red color, tending toward garnet. On the nose, fruity, mentholated notes, oriental spices, memories of red rose and black tea emerge. On the palate, a subtle tannin stands out, with a delicate sip, thanks also to the two months’ rest in steel after the blend. It continues in an elegant manner; it is a wine of beautiful intensity and closes with a certain persistence. The most precious Langhe territory at your lips!
