Short story

Viberti's Langhe Nebbiolo is like a younger brother: it carries the same noble blood as Barolo, but with a younger, more direct, livelier soul.

It comes from the same Langa soils, from vineyards cultivated with care and respect, where Nebbiolo finds its purest and most spontaneous expression. It is here that a wine takes shape that aims to be accessible, everyday, but never banal.

In the glass it releases hints of fresh red fruits, light spices and a floral note reminiscent of violets. In the mouth it is vibrant, with tannins present but polite, and a freshness that invites the next sip.

CLIMATIC TREND

Winter and late spring 2023 were warm and dry. Heavy rains in late May through mid-June revitalized growth, particularly in the southwestern Barolo area. July and August were hot and dry, causing water stress that influenced vine development. Production was average but with notable aromatic and color concentration.

Organoleptic Characteristics

→ Color: bright ruby red
Scents: fresh raspberries, violet and wild strawberries
Serving temperature: 16-18° C
Ability to evolve: 5+ years

Vinification

The production process of this wine begins through harvesting, which is done manually in 20 kg crates. Destemming takes place only on 80% of the grapes, while the remainder is placed in whole cluster tanks, beginning a carbonic maceration that will last for about two days, releasing primary aromas important for the finished wine. We then proceed with the start of fermentation with the help of indigenous yeasts inside the rotofermenters. The mass ferments at a controlled temperature of about 26°C for about 10-12 days.

Refinement

After racking, the wine placed in steel tanks naturally proceeds to malolactic fermentation. Aging takes place in steel tanks for about 8-10 months, at the end the wine is bottled in the absence of oxygen to maximize aromatic expression.

CLIMATIC TREND

The 2022 vintage will be remembered as a breakthrough year on new knowledge learned in viticulture. In fact, above-average temperatures and low rainfall presented winemakers with new challenges. The high stress to which the plant was subjected resulted in small berries and clusters. On the other hand, however, the health of the plants themselves was impeccable, ripening early and with high sugar concentration. The harvest lasted about a month in total, in which the scalarity of the different grape varieties was not respected.
