BAROLO DOCG
€26.00
World famous for centuries, this noble descendent of the Nebbiolo
varietal is historically associated with the Italian Risorgimento.
Great names such as those of Marquess Giulia Falletti di Barolo,
Count Cavour and the first members of the Savoy Royal family
witnessed its birth and contributed to making it great. An austere,
generous and age-worthy wine rightly considered to be the pride
of the Italian wine-making tradition
Varietal: Nebbiolo subvariety Lampia, Michet and Rosé.
Area of production: vineyards in Castiglione Falletto,
Serralunga d’Alba, Monforte d’Alba, Barolo, Novello, La Morra,
Verduno and Grinzane Cavour.
Wine-making: the grapes, harvested when fully ripened, are
immediately processed when they reach the cellar. Tumultuous
fermentation, which takes place at around 30°C and is followed
by submerged cap maceration, lasts for about six weeks
according to the traditional method. Immediately after devatting
the wine, we create the ideal cellar conditions for a perfect
malolactic fermentation.
Maturation and ageing: the wine matures in traditional
Slavonian oak barrels of great capacity and is then aged in
bottles before being sold. It enjoys an extraordinarily long life.
Tasting characteristics: garnet red in colour with orangey
nuances which become gradually more noticeable as the wine
ages; aroma is subtle, evolved, intense, pervasive and lingering;
a warm, full-bodied, complex, dry and well-balanced taste. Its
austere nature is determined by the presence of sweet and
complex tannins.
Food pairing: Cheeses like robiolo, grana padano and ‘toma’-
style cheeses, also any kind of goat and sheep cheese will go well
with Barolo. Risotto with porcini, tajarin with truffles.
Alcohol: 13,5%
