The 2022 season was one of the most surprising we have ever experienced in the Langhe. It was a year defined by extreme sun and very little rain, starting with a dry winter that left the ground thirsty without water reserves. While many worried about the heat, our vines showed an incredible "cultural" ability to adapt. To protect the fruit, we kept the leaves thick to act as a natural umbrella, preventing the grapes from burning. This resulted in smaller, highly concentrated berries with thick skins. This "skin-to-juice" ratio is a gift for Barolo, as it packs the wine with deep aromas and the firm structure we look for in a great vintage.
At Viberti, this unique climate has produced a Barolo Buon Padre of remarkable elegance and drinkability. For this vintage, we included a higher selection of grapes from Bricco delle Viole vineyard in the blend, which has boosted the freshness and made the floral perfumes even more intense. Bottled in the summer of 2025, it is already showing its great potential.
This year also marks our very first vintage of San Lorenzo di Verduno. True to its roots, this wine offers a more delicate intensity and an "old-school" character, with sophisticated hints of graphite that showcase character of Verduno. While these wines are ready to be enjoyed sooner, our Single Vineyards, Bricco delle Viole, San Pietro and La Volta bottled exclusively as a riserva remains in the cellar. They will continue its slow aging in oak until 2028.

The long production process of this wine begins in the vineyard through thinning and selection at the grape harvest stage. Harvesting is done manually, and once the grapes are picked, they are placed inside 20Kg crates. After destemming-crushing, maceration and alcoholic fermentation occur simultaneously for 8-10 days inside emerged-cap rotovinifiers. At the end of this operation, malolactic fermentation takes place spontaneously in steel.
Aging takes place for 18 months in oval, unroasted barrels with a capacity of 25 hL. At the end of the aging period, bottling is carried out, which does not involve any kind of filtration. Following bottling, the wine rests another 6-12 months before being released to the market.
