Vietti's Perbacco is widely regarded as a reference point Langhe Nebbiolo, often called a "baby Barolo." This 2012 lives up to its promise, although I should warn you, if you have a bottle: even though it is now in its 13th year, it is still very young. When I first popped the cork, I met a concentrated wall of tannin; three hours later, it was drinking beautifully.
Bright ruby red with amber at the edges appropriate for a Nebbiolo. Red roses and red cherries emerge on the nose with swirling. Some black licorice on the palate. Gets better with each sip, hard to put it down. Red berry beauty now shining through. Barolo-like complexity.
