Short story

In the heart of Verduno, on the hill overlooking the town, lies one of the appellation's most legendary vineyards, Monvigliero.

This cru is often called the "Grand Cru of Burgundy in Barolo" for its unmistakable elegance. Unlike the more powerful and tannic Barolos of Serralunga or Castiglione Falletto, Monvigliero is fine, delicate, ethereal, but with a depth that slowly reveals itself over time.

The Viberti family decided to work with this vineyard thanks to a longstanding friendship with the Morra family, historic custodians of one of the most prestigious parcels of cru. The project began in 2017, with the goal of creating a Barolo that would respect the subtle and refined soul of Monvigliero, without forcing or compromising.

CLIMATIC TREND

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.

Organoleptic Characteristics

→ Color: bright garnet red
Aromas: Red fruits, spices and a distinct mineral note of flint, typical of the Monvigliero cru.
Serving temperature: 18° C
Ability to evolve: 15+ years

Vinification

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.

Refinement

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.

CLIMATIC TREND

The year 2021 opened with a winter characterized by mild temperatures, below the seasonal average, accompanied by abundant rainfall, including snowfall, which ensured an excellent water reserve for the vineyards. Spring and summer continued with a regular weather pattern free of excesses, while the harvest period benefited from marked temperature ranges between day and night. This favored optimal phenolic and acid ripening, a key element for Nebbiolo's balance and longevity.

CLIMATIC TREND

The 2020 vintage started with a mild winter and little rain, ensuring a quick vegetative restart in spring without any phytosanitary criticalities. Radical change occurred around May-June, which presented heavy rainfall, leading to a vegetative slowdown, equalizing the early season advantage. However, the water accumulation of those months was essential, along with the not excessive summer temperatures, to an overall plant well-being until the ripening and harvesting of the grapes. Necessary in some of the more productive vineyards was the aid of thinning to regularize production per plant and equalize phenolic ripening. Fundamental contribution made in September and October was the alternating temperatures between day and night, which allowed high tannin ripening and ensured excellent grape health.

CLIMATIC TREND

The year opened with a prolonged winter and a rainy and cool early spring, which delayed the start of the growing cycle by about two weeks compared to recent years, but brought it back to more traditional timetables. The abundant spring rains ensured good water accumulation in the soil, which was useful during the summer, which alternated between heat waves and milder, unstable phases. This required great care in the vineyard, especially for phytosanitary management. In September, a severe thunderstorm with hail affected limited areas around Alba, but did not affect the main vineyard zones. Nebbiolo, harvested in October, shows important aging potential, with intense and structured wines. A vintage that can be described as traditional, balanced and promising.
