Product Description
The grapes are harvested and selected by hand, destemmed and crushed gently. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in controlled temperature stainless steel tanks. The time on the skins varies from 22 to 28 days, depending on vintage. Racking off takes place at the end of the alcoholic fermentation. Once the first fermentation is finished, the temperature of the new wine is made use of for the spontaneous onset of the malolactic fermentation.
Its colour is characteristic of long aged Barolo, garnet red. The bouquet is packed and ethereal, with over-blown roses and cherries in alcohol initially dominant, followed by tobacco, liquorice, truffle, leather and tar. In the mouth it is full-bodied, robust and austere. Its noble tannins temper with time to create a wine of a complexity which is characteristic of important wines. It can be laid down for more than 30 years.

Barolo is known as the “King of Wines,” hailing from the rolling hills of Piedmont in northern Italy, and crafted entirely from the noble Nebbiolo grape. It’s famous for powerful tannins, high acidity, and complex aromas of roses, tar, cherries, truffles, and earthy spice—a wine that can age gracefully for decades. The vineyards bask in fog (“nebbia”), which helps the Nebbiolo grapes ripen slowly and develop intense flavors. Traditionally, Barolo demanded years of cellaring to tame its fierce structure, but modern styles are becoming more approachable earlier. Whether classic or contemporary, Barolo remains a wine lover’s treasure—a bold, elegant expression of Italian winemaking heritage that practically insists on being paired with rich dishes like braised meats, truffles, and hearty pasta.
Nebbiolo is a red wine grape primarily cultivated in the Piedmont region of northwest Italy. This grape is renowned for producing some of Italy's most prestigious wines, including Barolo and Barbaresco. Nebbiolo wines are characterized by high acidity, firm tannins, and complex flavors that often include red fruit notes like cherry and raspberry, along with floral and tar-like aromas. These wines are known for their aging potential, developing greater complexity, softer tannins, and a brick-orange hue as they mature. Nebbiolo's expression can vary across different vineyard sites, showcasing the influence of terroir on its character. While it requires patience due to its tannic structure, Nebbiolo rewards wine enthusiasts with a remarkable combination of elegance and power, making it a celebrated varietal in the world of fine Italian wines.
