Production
Viberti Giovanni, a family-owned winery established in 1923 in Piedmont’s Langhe region, is renowned for its dedication to traditional winemaking. The Langhe Dolbà is a distinctive blend of two indigenous varietals, Dolcetto and Barbera, reflecting the estate’s commitment to showcasing the unique characteristics of local grapes. Each varietal is hand-harvested and vinified separately in stainless steel tanks to preserve their fresh fruit aromas. Following fermentation, the wines are aged for 6 to 8 months in stainless steel tanks, with an additional 2 months in the bottle prior to release. This approach maintains the wine’s vibrant acidity and fruit-forward profile, making it an approachable and enjoyable expression of the Langhe terroir.

The flavors of fruits continue to dominate, with additional layers of earth and spice that linger on the finish.
