Langhe Nebbiolo Perbacco DOC 2022

Wine Description for Langhe Nebbiolo Perbacco DOC 2022 by Vietti

Colour & Appearance

Dark yet translucently glowing ruby red – the classic Nebbiolo signature that places elegance before opulence.

Nose

Here the full class of this appellation reveals itself: raspberry and blackcurrant in shimmering-ripe intensity, played upon by fine wood spice. Cedar and sandalwood notes lend depth, whilst graphite, pencil lead and an ethereal-minty nuance alongside orange blossom provide that aromatic complexity one would more readily expect in considerably more expensive Barolo or Barbaresco.

Palate

The attack surprises with juicy fullness, before finely honed tannins provide definition at the tongue’s edge – drawn with precision as if by a sharp pen. The tannins reveal themselves silky and ripe, never rustic. A vibrant acidity illuminates the structure like a spotlight and elevates the red fruit. The interplay of fruit, phenolics and freshness succeeds brilliantly – a Nebbiolo with clear profile and impressive balance.

Finish

Medium to long, with lingering fruit and fine tannin grip. The mineral component and spice notes remain present.

Terroir & Origin

The grapes hail from various vineyard sites around Barolo and Barbaresco – a geographical provenance that promises substance. Each parcel is vinified separately, allowing the winemaker to later combine the finest components into a harmonious cuvée.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Nebbiolo, macerated over 3 to 4 weeks at 28 to 32°C. Following malolactic fermentation, the wine ages 18 to 20 months partly in small, partly in large wooden casks – a classical approach that unites structure with elegance.

Food Pairing Recommendations

An ideal companion to Brasato al Barolo, Ossobuco, Vitello Tonnato or aged hard cheeses such as Parmigiano Reggiano. Also an excellent choice with game dishes and mushroom risotto.

Special Features

This Langhe Nebbiolo plays in a league far above its price point – a genuine insider tip for all seeking Nebbiolo character without a Barolo budget.
