Vietti - Nebbiolo Perbacco Langhe 2020
Price: $37.99
Sale Price: $29.99
If you are a lover of Nebbiolo, then you simply cannot miss the latest edition of Vietti’s Perbacco. If you are new to the grape, then there is no better wine to start your adventure with than this one!
Barolo and Barbaresco are the famous names for Nebbiolo... the secret to this gem , simply labeled "Nebbiolo" is all of the grapes come from Vietti’s estate vines planted in Barbaresco and the best Barolo Cru’s of the region, Brunate, Lazzarito, Ravera, these single vineyard bottlings sell for over $170 a bottle! The value is crazy and the juice is incredible. 100% Nebbiolo, each parcel is fermented and aged separately, then a careful selection process takes place. Some parcels make it to the Cru status, some are blended for the Castiglione Barolo bottling (and are aged for 4 years), the rest is Perbacco! Just 2 years of barrel ageing here, in both barrique and large Slavonian casks. Big robust baby Barolo, with all the hallmarks and intensity you’d expect from wines that cost over three times the price. We never get enough of this wine. Don’t miss it.
James Suckling: 92 Points
This is a fresh and fruit-forward nebbiolo with notes of raspberries and cherries, orange peel and chocolate. Some dried flowers, too. Medium- to full-bodied, firm and racy with ripe but taut, compact tannins that run the whole length of the wine. Well-crafted. Long and even. Vegan. Drink or hold.
Wine Advocate: 90 Points
"This is a fun and versatile entry-level wine to pair with roast chicken or spicy pork. The 2020 Langhe Nebbiolo Perbacco offers bright fruit and dried blueberry with hints of cherrywood and spice. The effect is mild but nicely balanced, and the wine ups its food-friendly ante with fresh acidity to cut though cream or cheese."
