Vietti Nebbiolo Perbacco 2017

Langhe, Cuneo, Piedmont, ItalyThis Langhe Nebbiolo is sourced from declassified cru sites, and aged for less than the minimum requirements, therefore not qualifying for the Barolo DOCG. All the better for us = delicious cru nebbiolo, at a stellar price. Decant this and allow the 35-year-old vines some breathing room to reveal crushed florals, lifted raspberry and cherry, threaded with reams of broken stones and lashes of subtle leather and medicinal cherry. Tannins are slight and sticky, and acidity is lofted and alit with a limestone buzz, lingering with salinity. This 2017 is drinking now smartly.Tasted: 01 August 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
