Buy OnlineA perfumed and vibrant expression of Nebbiolo from Vietti. This has classic rose petal, cherry and tobacco character, wrapped up in a package that's intense and powerful but approachable (so your Barolos can stay sleeping in the cellar). Incredibly, the Perbacco is made largely of Barolo designated fruit, with some also from Barbaresco. Superb value for a wine of this calibre.
They made wine here back in the 1800s, but it was not until 1919 that Mario Vietti turned the family farm to viticulture and Vietti labels first appeared on the Italian market. The winery grew through the 1950’s, when new export markets opened and Mario’s daughter and son in law Alfredo Currado pioneered what was later to become a defining regional idea – single vineyard Barolo and Barbaresco. Today Vietti remain a towering name, with a portfolio occupying the top tier in most Piedmontese categories – particularly their profoundly important expressions of Cru Barolo.
Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"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."
93/100 Monica Larner, RobertParker.com, Wine Advocate (2022 Vintage)
"Some fruit from Roncaglie (Barbaresco) 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."
90/100 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com (2022 Vintage)
"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."
90/100 Jeb Dunnuck (2022 Vintage)
"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. This is a charming Langhe Nebbiolo to enjoy now or over the next 5-6 years."
