About this wine

Grapes

Nebbiolo.

Vinification

Traditional vinification develops the tannins and extract that give the wine its structured, long-lived character.

Ageing

Matured for two years in oak casks, followed by a period of refinement in bottle.

Technical data

Average yield: 50 hL/ha. Alcohol: 14.0% vol. ± 0.5. Total acidity: 5.50 g/L ± 0.5. Residual sugar: below 2 g/L. Available in a 750 ml bottle.

Tasting profile

Intense ruby red tending toward garnet. The bouquet is ethereal, pleasant, and intense, with notes recalling dried rose and violet. Dry, full, robust, and austere on the palate, yet velvety and harmonious, with the tannin and extract associated with a noble, long-lived structure.

Serving and pairing

Serve at 18–20°C. Pair with Piedmontese main courses such as braised meat, roasts, and game, as well as mature cheeses and recipes featuring mushrooms or truffles. It is particularly suited to special occasions.

Label / history

Barolo has a long history in Piedmont; its qualities were appreciated by the statesman Camillo Benso, Count of Cavour.
