Viberti San Pietro Barolo Riserva DOCG

The story of the Viberti winery begins when Cavalier Antonio Viberti buys the Locanda del Buon Padre. It was the year 1923 when Antonio began to produce wine for the guests of his Locanda in the basement of the Buon Padre.

The finest fruit is cultivated from the estate-owned San Pietro vineyard to produce this limited-production Barolo Riserva exclusively in five-star vintages. Layered with aromas of ripened fruit, spices, and minerals, subtle balsamic nuances appear on the finish of this bold red. Aged in tini for 46 months, the wine is transferred into stainless steel tanks for an additional 3 months to stabilize before bottling. It is cellared for 12 months prior to release. San Pietro Barolo Riserva will reward extensive cellaring upwards of 12 years.

Sustainable farming.
