About this winery

The history of the Vietti winery traces its roots back to the 19th Century. Only at the beginning of the 20th century, however, did the Vietti name become a winery offering its own wines in bottle. Patriarch Mario Vietti, starting from 1919 made the first Vietti wines, selling most of the production in Italy. His most significant achievement was to transform the family farm, engaged in many fields, into a grape-growing and wine-producing business. Then, in 1952, Alfredo Currado (Luciana...

Tasting notes

Under the ruby colour, the nose is medium and complex. Enjoy this dry, medium-bodied and fruity red featuring lively acidity. On the palate, it showcases fleshy tannins and a broad mouthfeel that leads into a long finish.

Monica Larner, July 2020 (Vintage 2017)

A wine with a diehard fan club, the Vietti 2017 Langhe Nebbiolo Perbacco drinks like a young Barolo but costs a fraction of the price. I really need to say little more because that accurately sums up the vast appeal of this classic and versatile Nebbiolo. The bouquet is expressive and fresh with wild berries, blue flowers, spice and tobacco. Besides a bit more color concentration that you might notice in the wine's appearance, Perbacco magically shows no sign of the hot vintage.

Monica Larner, (Vintage 2018)

The Vietti 2018 Langhe Nebbiolo Perbacco is a charming wine, both delicate and easygoing, that makes good on a promise to deliver basic Nebbiolo intensity and varietal purity. Small berry aromas, cassis and chopped mint emerge from the bouquet. To the palate, the wine is simple and streamlined, with mildly drying tannins on the close. Some 40,000 bottles were made.

(Vintage 2019)

The 2019 Langhe Nebbiolo Perbacco shows a rusty or earthy side that feels more pronounced in this vintage. This wine represents an assembly of all the wine that is left over after the final blend of the Barolo Castiglione is confirmed (at year three). This wine sees two years in large oak casks, but this 40,000-bottle release hits the market more than one year earlier than the Barolo. With a silky, lean texture, Perbacco is a good introduction to Nebbiolo
