Red wine | Piedmont, Barolo
Indulge in the illustrious Bersano Barolo, a testament to Piedmont's winemaking legacy. Crafted from 100% Nebbiolo grapes grown in the prestigious Terre del Barolo vineyards, this wine embodies the essence of its terroir. The grapes grown here are known for their high tannins, high acidity and distinct aromatics. They give Barolo wines their distinctive ruby red color, which often fades to garnet with age.
With a history deeply rooted in the Antico Podere Conti della Cremosina e Castello di Barbaresco, Bersano has mastered the art of producing exceptional Barolo wines. Each bottle reflects the winery's commitment to quality and tradition.
On the palate, the Bersano Barolo unfolds with layers of complexity. Experience the allure of ripe red cherries, interwoven with subtle notes of leather, liquorice and earth. The well-structured tannins and balanced acidity contribute to a long, satisfying finish.
Decant this wine at least an hour before serving to fully appreciate its depth and character. Pair it with hearty dishes such as braised meats, roasted game, or aged cheeses to elevate your dining experience.
The Bersano Barolo is more than just a wine; it's a journey through the rolling hills of Piedmont, capturing the spirit of a region renowned for its viticultural excellence. Raise a glass to the timeless elegance of Barolo and savor the moments it creates.
This wine is a perfect accompaniment to rich, flavorful dishes that can stand up to its bold character. Consider pairing it with:
* **Braised beef or lamb:** The wine's tannins will harmonize beautifully with the rich, tender meat.
* **Roasted game:** Dishes like roasted pheasant or venison are excellent choices.
* **Mushroom risotto:** The earthy notes in the wine will complement the earthy flavors of the mushrooms.
* **Aged cheeses:** Sharp, aged cheeses like Parmesan or Pecorino will provide a delightful contrast to the wine's fruity and savory notes.
* **Truffle-based dishes:** The luxurious aroma and flavor of truffles will be enhanced by the wine's complexity.
For an authentic Italian experience, serve the Bersano Barolo with classic Piedmontese dishes such as Brasato al Barolo (beef braised in Barolo wine) or Tajarin pasta with white truffle sauce.
Wow, 1967! Cherry, fig, tobacco... a complex Barolo with a story to tell. Lamb with truffle would be divine. Maybe a bit tannic but an experience!
