Description

Experience the regal Barolo Riserva from the prestigious Cancello Del Barone winery. Hailing from the renowned Barolo region in Piedmont, Italy, this wine is a testament to the power and elegance of the Nebbiolo grape. The 2016 vintage showcases a deep ruby red color, hinting at the complexity within. On the nose, you'll be greeted with an intoxicating bouquet of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and plum, interwoven with earthy undertones of truffle and forest floor, accented by warm spices like clove and cinnamon.

On the palate, this Barolo is dry and full-bodied, with a firm tannic structure that provides a wonderful, mouth-drying sensation. The fruit flavors continue to impress, as the earthy and spicy notes complement the dark fruit beautifully. It's a wine that evolves in the glass, revealing new layers with each sip. A great balance of fruit and acidity leads into a long, persistent finish.

Cancello Del Barone is committed to producing wines that express the unique character of the Barolo terroir. This Riserva is a particularly special wine from Cancello, aged for several years before its release in order to allow for proper maturation, showing the wine's complexity and its ageing potential. With its robust character, this Barolo Riserva is an ideal companion for hearty dishes. Imagine it alongside a rich Osso Buco, where the wine's structure and acidity will cut through the meat’s fattiness, or pair it with grilled or roasted red meats like lamb or beef. The wine's earthy notes also make it a fantastic choice for dishes featuring mushrooms and truffle. It also pairs perfectly with aged hard cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano.

This is more than just a wine; it's a journey through the heart of Barolo, representing the best of Italian winemaking. The Barolo Riserva from Cancello Del Barone is an excellent choice for any wine collector, or anyone looking to experience the tradition, character and age of Italian wine, a bottle that's worth savouring for a special occasion.
