Barolo DOCG Riserva "San Pietro" Giovanni Viberti 2015

Tom has been shipping from Claudio at Viberti for nearly 20 years and they're great old friends in the wine trade. We were lucky enough to visit this estate in September 2023 and it is amazing to be able to ship direct from a grower where we can see and imagine exactly where the grapes have come from. These wines are special, with quality and a sense of place at the forefront.

This is a single vineyard Barolo and the very top of Viberti's range. Extreme care and attention is taken at every stage of the wine-making process. The wine spends 4 years in oak and a further year in bottle before release, making this a labour of love, which is well worth the wait! This 2015 vintage already has lovely developing flavours.  It's got dark cherry and plum, raw mushroom, tobacco and a meaty undertone! The tannins give it amazing structure without being too clawing, surely a show stopper.
