Giovanni Viberti – Barbera d’Alba Superiore Bricco Airoli – 2019

Among the most interesting barberas on the local scene, it is still one of the few cases where the vineyards have been preserved in southern exposure thus giving excellent ripeness. Vineyards located in Vergne in the cru of Bricco delle Viole in the highest part called Bricco Airoli, vineyards planted in ’50 and ’55 with low yields. A selection of bunches is made, long fermentation and maceration on the skins with emerged cap in steel tanks and aging in large Barolo barrels for 30 months. A lady Barbera, intense notes of red fruit that evolve in the minutes releasing hidden complexities, in the mouth it is round and structured, remarkable acidity but with a very fresh finish. Tastes of yesteryear!

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.
