Everybody loves a Barolo; they’re complex, juicy and packed with flavour. They’re also blinking expensive, so the Viberti team have hit upon the cunning ruse of using the same grapes – Nebbiolo – to make a wine with all the red fruit flavours and lip-smacking tannins of a Barolo, but at a third of the price!
