BAROLO One of the most highly regarded red wines in the world  It is made from Nebbiolo grapes grown in Piedmont in one of the biggest winery in the world. PRODUCTION SITES: Produced in the areas of Castiglione Falletto and Serralunga d'Alba in Piedmont
COLOUR: Barolo is dark, full-bodied and high in alcohol and tannin. The red intense colour can take on an unusual orange tinge during the aging. AROMA: Barolo typically smells of flowers; the new wines smell of roses and violets. The superior version has a slight smell of candied cherries and cooked plums. The initial nose of this wine is usually that of pine trees. TASTE: Barolo is elegant, well balances and tastes of fresh cherry with round flavours and smooth tannins. You can easily detect the aromas of liquorice, vanilla, tobacco and coffee. PAIRINGS: Excellent to pair with braised or roasted red meat and with well seasoned hard cheese. It is often used to cook extraordinary risottos. GRADATION: almost 13° SERVING TEMPERATURE: The ideal serving temperature is usually 18°C  GLASS: We recommend using a broad glass to allow the wine to oxygenate.
AGEING: It can easily improve over decades of aging. It needs at least 3 whole years aging in large wooden casks. After at least 5 years aging (2 of which in durmast or chestnut barrels) it becomes Barolo Riserva.
EVENTS: At the end of September in the Piedmontese vineyards goes off the “Barolo Day”, a festival completely dedicated to this wine, its history and the traditions that have come after this incredible nectar. |
