Structured elegance and classic Piedmont character define the 2021 Vietti Langhe Nebbiolo Perbacco. Produced by the historic Vietti estate in Castiglione Falletto, this wine offers a compelling introduction to the depth and complexity of Nebbiolo grown across the Langhe hills. The Perbacco bottling is crafted from select Nebbiolo vineyards, including parcels that would traditionally contribute to Vietti’s Barolo, giving the wine remarkable pedigree and seriousness for its classification.
The 2021 vintage benefited from balanced growing conditions, producing fruit with both concentration and freshness. In the glass, the wine shows a brilliant garnet hue typical of Nebbiolo, with aromatic layers that reveal both fruit purity and savoury nuance. The palate is refined and structured, combining bright red fruit with the grape’s hallmark tannic backbone and lively acidity. Careful ageing in large oak casks allows the wine to develop complexity while preserving its vibrant expression of terroir. The result is a Nebbiolo of impressive depth, delivering both immediate charm and the capacity to evolve with time. In magnum format, the wine benefits from slower maturation, offering even greater potential for graceful development in the cellar.

“This wine opens with an expressive nose, exuding macerated red cherries, dried roses and sweet and savory spices. The palate unfolds with rounded and lush loads of cherry, where well-integrated tannins create a harmonious structure, offering a delightful and balanced profile.”
“Spicy and quite marked in terms of its aromatic intensity, the Vietti 2021 Langhe Nebbiolo Perbacco is a more elaborate expression of the grape that has been softened by oak, spice and well-ripened fruit. It ages in large wood botte for two years. The wine has a velvety quality that helps to coat the palate, and you get a lot of stuffing here in terms of texture and lasting fruit flavors. Fruit not directly used for the Barolo Castiglione goes to this wine instead.”
“The 2021 Langhe Nebbiolo Perbacco is an especially nervy edition of the Perbacco, the result of a significant presence of Monforte fruit in the blend. Notes of red fruit, orange peel and white pepper sculpt the 2021, finishing with notable tension.”
We owe thanks to Carlo Vietti who started the Vietti winery at the end of the 1800s. Situated, to this day, right in the heart of the Langhe, on the highest point of the medieval village of Castiglione Falletto. Mario Vietti, Carlo's son, returned in 1917 after many years from living in the United States, and took the reins of the company, armed with the knowledge of modern techniques he elevated the winery to produce higher-quality wines. By the end of the 1950s, daughter Luciana Vietti had inherited the winery, together with her husband Alfredo Currado an oenologist and fellow art lover, they merged their knowledge of wine with art and culture. Since 1974 certain Vietti wines have been dressed with specially-designed original works (lithographs, xylographies, etchings, silkscreens, linocuts) inspired by the wine of that particular vintage.
From the beginning Vietti has been about commitment and vision, culture and passion. These are the keywords that have contributed to the growth of the Vietti winery and brand, universally recognised today among the best Italian wine labels. The path of quality is traced, thanks to the respect for tradition and careful experimentation, where man and earth have always been able to dialogue. The intellectual, professional, and prospective legacy of Alfredo Currado and Luciana was taken up first, during the 80s, by their son-in-law Mario Cordero and then, starting from the 90s, by their son Luca Currado Vietti, subsequently accompanied by his wife Elena.
In 2016, the Krause Family purchased Vietti. Luca Currado Vietti and wife Elena, continued to process and market the wines producing their final vintage in 2021. Vietti has extended the winemaking properties with new, renowned crus in the denomination of Barolo and Barbaresco. In the Colli Tortonesi area, thanks to the purchase of vineyards, the production of Timorasso had its beginning. As in the past, Vietti maintains those founding values - commitment and vision, culture and passion. The same values that animated Carlo Vietti at the beginning, and all his successors.
Vietti's philosophy is deeply rooted in respect for the land and a commitment to showcasing the full potential of the Barolo region. The estate’s winemaking process combines traditional methods with modern innovation to create wines that are both true to their heritage and forward-thinking. Vietti believes that each wine should be a reflection of its terroir, capturing the essence of the land and climate in which it is grown. With a focus on sustainability, the estate uses organic and biodynamic practices where possible, allowing the vineyards to thrive while minimising their environmental impact.
At the heart of Vietti's philosophy is the belief that great wine starts in the vineyard. The estate works closely with its growers to ensure that only the best fruit is harvested, with minimal intervention in the winemaking process to allow the natural qualities of the grapes to shine. This commitment to quality is evident in every bottle, and the wines produced by Vietti are a true expression of the Barolo region’s rich history and tradition.
Aromatic notes of rose petals, red cherry and raspberry layered with hints of dried herbs, liquorice, tar and subtle earthy spice.
Medium to full-bodied with bright red fruit flavours, firm yet polished tannins and vibrant acidity supporting notes of cherry, cranberry, tobacco and savoury spice.
A persistent finish marked by fine tannins, lifted red fruit and lingering floral and mineral undertones.
