Vietti Langhe Nebbiolo Perbacco DOC 2021

Cellar or drinkRed wineItaly92 points - Wine AdvocateCork

Vietti is a name to know in Italian wine. It’s one of the few iconic producers to own Cru vineyards across all the major Barolo communes—making it a serious player when it comes to top-tier Piedmont wines.

Their single-vineyard Barolos like the Castiglione DOCG are highly collectible and come with the price tag to match. But for a more approachable entry point, the Vietti Langhe Nebbiolo Perbacco DOC offers incredible value.

Here’s the secret: it’s made from the same grapes as their Barolo DOCG, but classified under the Langhe DOC, Italy’s second-highest wine classification. Why? Because it’s not aged as long. That small technicality means you get Barolo-quality fruit, at a fraction of the price.

You can thank Italian wine law for this one—top-shelf Nebbiolo without the wait or the wallet hit 🍷

What the experts say about this wine

Spicy and quite marked in terms of its aromatic intensity, the Vietti 2021 Langhe Nebbiolo Perbacco is a more elaborate expression of the grape that has been softened by oak, spice and well-ripened fruit. It ages in large wood botte for two years. The wine has a velvety quality that helps to coat the palate, and you get a lot of stuffing here in terms of texture and lasting fruit flavors. Fruit not directly used for the Barolo Castiglione goes to this wine instead. Drink: 2024-2028.

This wine opens with an expressive nose, exuding macerated red cherries, dried roses and sweet and savory spices. The palate unfolds with rounded and lush loads of cherry, where well-integrated tannins create a harmonious structure, offering a delightful and balanced profile.
