Viberti La Gemella Barbera d'Alba 2022
Nose: Expressive and intense aromas of fresh red berries and dark fruit, including cherries, plums, and raspberries/boysenberry. It often shows pronounced floral tones (like wild rose or violet) and earthy hints of crushed mineral and licorice.
Palate: Fruity, round, and juicy. It has a good concentration of dark fruit flavors (blueberry, cherry liquor, plum) that are balanced by a vibrancy of acid. The acidity is a key feature of Barbera.
Finish: Succulent and long with lingering fruit, often notes of sour cherries and a touch of spice or vanilla.
Pairing
Italian Staples: Excellent with classic dishes like Pizza Margherita, various Pasta dishes (especially those with tomato-based sauces, mushrooms, or truffle), and Vegetarian Lasagne.
Meats: Pairs beautifully with grilled or roasted white meats and lighter red meats, such as Veal Parmesan or grilled pork tenderloin. For a bolder pairing, try it with Bistecca Fiorentina (Florentine steak).
Cheeses: The acidity cuts nicely through the fat of rich cheeses, making it a good match for aged Parmigiano-Reggiano and other medium-matured or aged cheeses.
Vegetables: Complements hearty vegetable dishes, including pasta primavera with vegetables or grilled vegetables (like eggplant and bell peppers).
#42 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2024
Expressive floral tones of wild rose, fresh berries, and crushed mineral. The power and intensity of the bouquet is especially attractive and bold. The wine’s dark concentration within layers of blueberry and earth is perfectly balanced by those ethereal aromas.
History
Viberti, located in the village of Barolo in the northern Italian region of Piedmont, was founded in the early 20th century by Antonio Viberti, an innkeeper and restauranteur. Wine was produced from the estate vineyards exclusively for the patrons of the family restaurant, Trattoria al Buon Padre.
In 1967, ata time when Barolo wines were gaining international notoriety, Antonio's son, Giovanni, joined the family business and realized the potential of the estate vineyards to produce superior quality, world-class Barolo. After selling wines to restaurant patrons, who came from far and wide to enjoy the local cuisine, the reputation of Viberti Barolo spread leading to demand beyond Piedmont.
One hundred years after the creation of the Viberti winery, the family's connection to their beloved land of Barolo and its fine red wines remains unbroken as the 3rd generations of the Viberti family, GianLuca and Claudio, joined their father at the winery. Today, under the direction of Claudio, the winery produces varietally accurate, elegantly structured wines with fresh fruit aromas, bold tannins, and vibrant acidity that are approachable upon release, yet reward extensive aging.
