Description

The wine in your hand is a Barolo, a majestic red hailing from the Piedmont region of Italy, specifically from a winery of the Barolo zone. Crafted exclusively from the Nebbiolo grape, Barolo is celebrated for its complex and powerful character. This particular vintage, the 2019, is an exciting year showing typical power and finesse of the Nebbiolo grapes from this world-class appellation. You will be delighted by the aromas and taste of the Barolo. Expect a dry, full-bodied wine showcasing a captivating bouquet of red and dark fruit, such as cherry, plum, and raspberry, intertwined with delicate floral notes of rose and violet. The earthy undertones, complemented by a delightful spiciness of licorice and dried herbs, add depth and complexity. The well-integrated tannins of a Barolo are known to give the wine its structure.

This wine is traditionally made with an extended maceration and is aged for at least 3 years before being released.

Serving this Barolo at a temperature of around 18°C (64°F) will best highlight its rich aromatics and elegant structure, while giving it at least 30 minutes to breath after opening is key to bring out its full potential. It’s a versatile choice for pairing with hearty dishes. Think of it alongside roasted meats, such as lamb or beef, or richer preparations with game. Risotto, pasta with meat ragu, and aged cheeses are also fantastic pairings. The wine's robust character stands up wonderfully to intense flavors and makes it a superb choice for a special dinner or a relaxed evening with friends. If you like, let it age for 10 more years and get the full potential of it. This wine is more than just a drink. It's an invitation to experience the very essence of the Piedmont region.
