Barolo, often referred to as “The King Of Wines” is always made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, as a Riserva classification, this wine was matured in oak for a minimum period of 36 months- traditionally in large Slavonian oak casks.
Barolo wine comes from a traditional village of the same name located in the northern region of Piemonte. It is so revered that it was one of just three wines awarded DOCG status on the same day that the classification was introduced in July 1980. The region encompasses 11 villages in the heart of Piedmont, most of the estates are small and family-owned and so production is low.
Appellation
Barolo, Piedmont, Italy
Tasting Notes
Heady aromas of rose, leather, vanilla, cherry, pepper, cranberry, strawberry. Fruits are perfectly knitted with the tannins and acidity. It’s a powerful wine but remarkably subtle. Don’t underestimate it and certainly serve it with food to show at it’s best.
Pairing
Goes wonderfully well with lamb, pasta, cheese.
