Perbacco Nebbiolo Vietti 2020

Vietti Perbacco Nebbiolo 2020 is a full-bodied red wine produced from Nebbiolo grapes in the Piedmont region of northern Italy. This entry-level Langhe Nebbiolo from the highly respected Vietti estate is a wine that always punches well above its weight, comparing favourably to many Nebbiolos higher up in the Langhe appellation hierarchy. "The 2020 Langhe Nebbiolo Perbacco is another terrific entry-level wine from Vietti. In this vintage, the Perbacco is especially fine. Sweet dried cherry, herbs, mint, crushed flowers, anise and orange peel grace this striking, alluring Nebbiolo. There`s tons of depth and sheer pedigree, things that have not always been present in recent editions. For years, Perbacco was a very serious wine - some might say almost too serious - for its peer group. Then Vietti pivoted to a simpler style. With the 2020, Perbacco seems to once again be a wine that overdelivers, big time. Quite frankly, the 2020 Perbacco is more satisfying than many Barbarescos and Barolos I tasted this year."
