The Vietti history in wine began in the 1800s when Carlo Vietto founded the estate, releasing their first vintage in 1873. Although the winery was sold to an American family in 2016, Luca Currado Vietti and his wife Elena are in charge, and continue to ensure wine quality. The grapes for Perbacco are traditionally from some of the fifteen different cru vineyards in Barolo and recently adding a small portion from Barbaresco. The 2019 is a beautiful wine with a deep ruby color, aromas and flavors of black cherries, blackberries, and strawberries with a touch of pepper and vanilla It is intense and concentrated, yet elegant and smooth with crisp acidity and solid tannins. Serve it with a grilled steak or mushroom ragout.
