BAROLO 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, Serra Lunga 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 aging, so cellaring is recommended.

Tasting notes: garnet colour with orange reflections, intense and ethereal aroma. Its flavour is austere but velvety, robust, and harmonious. Elegant with sweet and soft tannins.
