2019 Osvaldo Viberti Barolo del Comune di La Morra DOCG

100% organic Nebbiolo from three southwest-facing vineyards, totaling 3 hectares in La Morra at an altitude of 300m. The soil is calcareous clay. Osvaldo uses the Guyot vine management system. The grapes are de-stemmed and then spontaneously fermented for 8-10 days in temperature-controlled steel tanks with manual push-downs and pump-overs. The wine is moved into 1,500 liter botti for up to 2 years. 8,000 bottles are produced. 2019 was considered an excellent, 5 star, classically styled vintage. Full bodied, balanced and smooth, with tons of cherry, leather, licorice, tar and red berry aromas along with some vanilla oak. Dry and structured, with a big, dusty, dry tannic finish and plenty of acidic backbone. Decant for as long as you want to drink now, or throw it in the cellar for the next 15 years.
