About this WINE
Casina Bric 460, Piedmont
Gianluca Viberti’s family have been tending their Nebbiolo vines in Vergne, a hamlet of Barolo, since 1923. However, in 2010 Gianluca decided to start afresh after 22 years of making wine for his kin. His estate is called 460 Casina Bric, with ‘460’ referring to the altitude above sea level of the vines and ‘Casina Bric’ the Piemontese words for ‘winery on the hilltop’. Here, on Tortonian clay soils, Gianluca has ten hectares in total, including plots in the prized vineyards of Bricco del Viole and San Ponzo.
Other Varieties
There are over 200 different grape varieties used in modern wine making (from a total of over 1000). Most lesser known blends and varieties are traditional to specific parts of the world.

Description
‘Ansj’ (‘just like that’) is a juicy, medium bodied Langhe blend of approximately 70% Nebbiolo and 30% Barbera for drinking now is sourced exclusively from Gianluca Viberti’s Vergne vineyards, handpicked and vinified in cement and stainless-steel (for the Nebbiolo) while the Barbera is aged briefly in French oak. Very elegant and very Piedmontese, this is very drinkable now.
