Description

Viberti Langhe DOC Nebbiolo 2021

A Barolo wine released under Langhe as they did not conform to the Barolo winemaking standards

Grape Varietals: 100% Nebbiolo, produced from vineyards with more western exposures within the Barolo region of Langhe Nebbiolo DOC.

Taste Profile: Medium intensity ruby red. Aromas of ripe red fruits, strawberry & cherry. Soft tannin and great drinkability

Winemaking Process: After the destemming-crushing, maceration and alcoholic fermentation takes place on the skin for 8-10 days in temperature-controlled steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation follows at controlled temperature in steel tanks. Aging takes place for a year in wooden vats with a capacity of 50 hl each. The wine then returns to steel tanks where it completes its maturation for a further year.

Bright & Easy Reds

Easy drinking red wines with bright fruit aromas and low tannins. The wines are often released without much aging in tank, oak barrels or bottle, and are meant to be drunk early

These wines typically can be nejoyed without food, and are usually served cooler. They can be light bodied wines like Beaujolais, or light extraction styles that do not emphasize tannin & color extraction

Malolactic fermentation

MLF is a process that results in reduction in acidity & the production of buttery texture & taste profile, often applied to more bodied styles of red & white wines
While not all creamy whites or rich fruity reds undergo MLF, and can adopt similar profiles from barrel ageing,
