BAROLO DOCG

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%
