Description

The king of the Langhe, in no hurry

Our Barolo comes from Nebbiolo vineyards facing south-west, on the calcareous marl that gives this wine its unmistakable structure. Harvest is by hand in mid-October, when the morning fog starts rising from the valleys: that fog, nebbia, is where the grape gets its name.

In the cellar the grapes ferment slowly in steel vats, with long skin macerations that can last more than three weeks. The wine then rests for two years in large Slavonian oak casks, and at least one more year in bottle before release.

In the glass

Bright garnet with orange hints. The nose opens with dried rose and cherries in spirit, then tar, liquorice, tobacco and a thread of sweet spice. The palate is full and austere, with dense tannins that time will turn silky, and a very long finish.

  • Serving: 18 °C, opened at least an hour ahead, in a large glass.
  • Pairings: beef braised in Barolo, tajarin with white truffle, long-aged cheeses.
  • Ageing potential: over twenty years, stored lying down and in the dark.

A wine to open for an occasion, or to forget in the cellar and rediscover in ten years: either way, it won't disappoint.
