Barolo DOCG

Piedmont’s “king of wines and wine of kings” got that reputation for a reason. A wine with centuries of history and tradition behind it, strict DOCG guidelines must be followed to preserve its worldwide reputation for being a pillar of Italian wine. Terrains, micro-climates, and styles change from growing area to growing area and even plot to plot, but one thing is for certain: It’s no longer just for royalty.

We make our Barolo using uncompromising winemaking standards, concentrating on balance, elegance, and aroma, and especially approachability.

Winemaker:

Garnet in color; the wine’s bouquet is floral and spicy; showing appealing, intense aromas of rose, licorice and berries as well subtle notes of vanilla and tobacco. It has structured, full and layered flavors, a round, velvet-textured palate and a lingering finish.

Best served at 16-18 °C (60.8-64.4 °F).

Serve with rich, structured dishes, such as red meat, game, aged cheese.
