Achille Viglione
Achille Viglione works in Langhe, the heart of Piemonte's Nebbiolo country. The region's clay and limestone soils yield wines of structure and aging potential—hallmarks of the finest expressions from this corner of Northern Italy. The winery's Duré Barolo Riserva and Jacco Barbaresco both draw from Nebbiolo, the demanding grape that defines Langhe's reputation. Barolo and Barbaresco sit at opposite ends of the same terroir conversation: Barolo tends toward power and tannin, Barbaresco toward elegance and finesse. Both require time to unfold. Wine Enthusiast has rated these wines, recognizing their depth. Nebbiolo demands patience and proper cellaring, rewarding those who wait with complexity that emerges over years.
