About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Nebbiolo comes from the estate's own vineyards.

Vinification

Fermentation is spontaneous, in stainless steel tanks. Sulfur is kept to a minimum and nothing is added, in line with Viberti's restrained approach to natural winemaking.

Ageing

The wine rests for twelve to fourteen months in large oak casks. The casks are steamed rather than toasted, so the oak influence stays soft and subtle.

Tasting profile

Pure and terroir-driven, with expressive fruit, bright and energetic, and with a Barolo-like purity. Easy-drinking yet complex.
