Osvaldo Viberti Langhe Nebbiolo

Osvaldo Viberti's Langhe Nebbiolo is a dry red wine from Piedmont, Italy, that expresses aromas of fresh red raspberries, wild strawberries, ripe red fruit, violets, and rose petals; it is accented by anise, pepper, and a hint of balsamic. The palate is full-bodied and balanced with crisp acidity and silky tannins–the finish is long and clean. A small portion of grapes were kept whole cluster for carbonic maceration, and the fermentation lasted 14-20 days. Malolactic fermentation and initial aging occurred in conical wooden vats and stainless steel tanks for 8-10 months to preserve fresh aromatics.

Food Pairing: pounded veal sauteed with butter, mushrooms, herbs, Parmesan cheese risotto, tomato-based pasta dishes, pizza, rotisserie-roasted chicken, grilled white meats, marinated steaks, hard Italian cheeses.
