BAROLO DEL COMUNE DI SERRALUNGA D'ALBA DOCG

The king of Italian wines: the territory where Barolo is produced covers 11 small villages, namely Barolo, which gives it its name, La Morra, Verduno, Serralunga d'Alba and Castiglione Falleto. To be considered a Barolo, it must comply with several rules, the most important being aging for a minimum period of 38 months. Barolo is a wine that improves with bottle age, so it is advisable to store it.

Tasting notes: Garnet colour with orange reflections, intense and ethereal aroma. Its taste is austere, yet velvety, robust, and harmonious. Elegant with sweet and soft tannins.

Food pairing suggestion: red meat dishes, game, and cured cheeses. Highly recommended with truffle dishes.
