Viberti Barolo Buon Padre 2021

Description

Historical label of the Viberti family, it represents the essence of Barolo in its most classical and traditional expression. Born in 1923 by Cavalier Antonio Viberti, the wine was marketed under the name of the family restaurant: Il Buon Padre. Served exclusively on the tables of the inn, shortly after the end of the Second World War, Antonio began selling to the patrons and customers of the inn itself. Born from the union of Nebbiolo grapes from the vineyards of La Volta and Bricco delle Viole, today this label at a distance of almost a century, is the result of the skilful assemblage of 8 different crus, included between the municipalities of Barolo, Monforte d ' Alba and Verduno. The grapes of different origins are harvested and vinified separately. The wines produced are aged in vats and barrels of French and Slavonian oak, which are not roasted exclusively; then the various wines are assembled and a few weeks after bottling. The style is characterized by a fresh acidity that comes from the highest vineyards, extremely traditional aromas and an impressive structure, but with soft and elegant tannins. The company's intention is to avoid the perception of astringent tannins, thanks to the use of controlled fermentations and not too prolonged macerations.

The story of Cantina Viberti Giovanni is rooted when Cavalier Antonio Viberti acquires the homonymous Locanda del Buon Padre. It ran the year 1923 and Antonio began to produce wine in the basement of the Good Father with the sole purpose of providing wines to the guests of his inn.
In those years the Dolcetto, Barbera and Nebbiolo were the 3 grapes purified by the knight and the wine sales were almost exclusively in the Good Father. In 1967, John, the second son, assisted by his wife Maria, began her first steps in the small family cellar.
At the end of the 1980s, the first micro-vinification of single vineyards began in temperature-controlled steel tanks, and the only local-only sale began to expand in European countries. The 1990s mark the beginning of export in the growing US market.
Today, the cellar Viberti Giovanni marks the pace with the new generation who sees the youngest son Claudio, engaged directly in winemaking and management, can count on a production of 70,000 bottles a year, constantly growing, on a young staff Motivated and on the ambition to reach new goals.
The wines produced see BAROLO protagonist, as well as the most important denominations of Langa. The new projects are the soul of the cellar: after the DOLBAS exit, the eyes are turned to the "superlanghe" INISJ.
