Palate: red fruit, round tannin

Vietti's Langhe Nebbiolo from declassified Barolo fruit: raspberry, currant, mint and spice with round, elegant tannins and a refined finish that drinks well young.

What it pairs with

  • Tajarin with ragu
    The wine's round tannin and red fruit carry the meat sauce.
  • Roast chicken
    Medium body suits poultry without overwhelming it.
  • Toma piemontese
    Mild cheese frames the raspberry and mint.

History

Perbacco is Vietti's Langhe Nebbiolo, drawn largely from young vines in Barolo crus, made as an approachable, earlier-drinking introduction to the grape.
