Viberti Giovanni Barolo Buon Padre 2016 1.5L in wood box

The story of the Viberti Giovanni winery begins when Cavalier Antonio Viberti buys the Locanda del Buon Padre. The year was 1923 when Antonio began to produce wine for the guests of his Locanda in the basement of the Buon Padre. At the time, Dolcetto, Barbera and Nebbiolo were the 3 grapes vinified alone by Cavaliere and the sale of wines took place almost exclusively within the Buon Padre.

In 1967 the second son Giovanni, assisted by his wife Maria, began the first steps in the small family cellar.

The presence of Mary becomes fundamental for the winecellar and for the Buon Padre. A cooking woman who is directly involved in the preparation of dishes, contributes with her work and her human value to the growth of the cellar, the wines and the family.

In the '70s the cellar grows, thanks to the new premises where they begin the first fermentation in cement tanks.

At the end of the 80s the first micro-vinifications of the individual vineyards began in temperature-controlled steel tanks and the first exclusively local sale began to expand in the European countries. The '90s mark the beginning of exportation in the growing US market.

Today the Viberti Giovanni winery continues its history with the third generation, which sees Claudio, the youngest son, directly involved in winemaking and management operations.

Thanks to its past, today it can count on a production of 120,000 bottles a year, on a young and motivated staff and on the ambition to reach ever new goals. Recently, a substantial investment concerned the Barbera vine, in particular for the production of the last born "La Gemella". From a friendship born between the school desks, in recent years it has been reached an important agreement for the acquisition of Nebbiolo grapes from a historic particle in the heart of the Monvigliero di Verduno cru.

The Barolo Buon Padre remains at the center of family attention: since 2012, in its assembly, the Nebbiolo have been added from a Perno di Serralunga d'Alba vineyard and from the Albarella cru, in the heart of the municipality of Barolo. Barolo Buon Padre continues to grow in its most classic style, thanks to the contribution, today, of eight different Barolo crus, expertly cultivated in respect of their biodiversity.
