The 2006 Langhe Nebbiolo is a ripe, generous wine loaded with candied, perfumed red fruit. There is excellent depth and persistence here, not to mention an irresistible, engaging personality that makes it hard to put the glass down. This plump, juicy Langhe Nebbiolo from Viberti is a winner. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2016.
