Vineyards

The philosophy in the vineyard is clear: we believe that 70% of the quality of a wine results from the work carried out in the vineyards. Our efforts are mainly targeted at lowering the yield per acre and ripening only the very best grapes.

The vineyards is the core of the production and they are managed with extreme attention, taking care of details. The Viberti vineyards are mainly located in the west side of the Barolo village. The average altitude is between 400 and 500 mt above see level and this characteristic is the key element and common link within all vineyards.

The variety cultivated are Nebbiolo, Dolcetto , Barbera and a small vineyard of Chardonnay, which grapes are used for a micro-production of a pure Chardonnay. The three different Barolo's riservas, produced only in the best vintages, used grapes from three single vineyards located in Bricco delle Viole, San Pietro and La Volta. Each riserva wine is produced using 100% of the grapes from single individual parcels located in each area.

The Buon Padre Barolo today is the result of the blend of Nebbiolo grapes grown in five top sites in Barolo. Beside the three owned vineyards the cuvée is made adding the Nebbiolo from San Ponzio & Fossati-Alessandria vineyards.

The philosophy in the vineyard is clear: we believe that 70% of the quality of a wine results from the work carried out in the vineyards. Our efforts are mainly targeted at lowering the yield per acre and ripening only the very best grapes. This is achieved by strict thinning of the bounces, first during the summer, and then again just a few week before the harvest. Reducing the quantity and raising the standard of the musts are the key to success in quality.
