Giovanni Viberti – Barolo La Volta Riserva – 2016
Located in the commune of Barolo next to the village, it is one of the most vigorous and homogeneous vineyards because of the not too steep slopes and the composition of the predominantly clayey soils similar to Bricco delle Viole. It is produced in very good vintages and only in Riserva version, after the selection of the grapes, maceration and alcoholic fermentation takes place in steel tanks for 21 days with the help of submerged cap so as to obtain more extraction of the components. Malolactic fermentation is done by remaining in contact with the lees for 4 months instead aging is done in 50 Hl oak truncated conical vats for 46 months, returning another 3 months in steel before completing rest in bottle for another 12 months. A Barolo with a beautiful result, typical fruity notes are perceived along with spices but with a clear evolution over time, on the palate it has a noble elegance in the sip balanced by good acidity and round tannins. Intriguing to understand how it will become in a few years but will not disappoint your expectations right away.

Description
One of the oldest wineries in the town of Barolo, among the first to be founded back in 1923 by Cavalier Antonio Viberti at the Good Father Inn where the first vinifications began. A family with great traditions, they bottled their first label in 1927 kicking off a history of satisfaction where their son Giovanni from 1968 expanded the property by buying land, differentiating the different vineyards and marketing their wines worldwide. Today we have reached the 3rd generation with grandson Claudio who has taken the reins of the winery introducing new cutting-edge techniques, low yields and eco-sustainability so as to increase the quality of the vineyards. They own 21 hectares distributed among some of the best Cru of the appellation such as Monvigliero, Bricco delle viole, Ravera ect. with a good part of the vines of an average age of 30 years in which there are classic Dolcetto, Barbera, Nebbiolo and some Chardonnay. A modern and thoughtful vision has been introduced in the winery without neglecting the old teachings, modern technologies such as rotovinificators during vinification so as to shorten the time, use of large truncated barrels for well-defined aromas at the end of aging. All pieces of a puzzle for one of the most celebrated names in the Langa.
