Ruby red color with garnet highlights. Fresh red fruits and spicy hints on the nose. Pleasant acidity that brings freshness. Delicate and sweet tannin.

Barolo goes well with important dishes, such as traditional Piedmontese meat main courses. Ranging from world traditions, there is gulasch in Eastern Europe. Going to Japan instead gyoza (fried dumplings stuffed with spring onion, marinated pork and spices), grilled meat (yakiniku) such as beef; but also fish, such as Black Cod (Alaskan fish marinated with sugar, sake, miso). Moving to The United States of America, beef (angus, wagyu, bue nostral, longhorn) in different cuts such as brisket and beef ribs. One recipe is, for example, onion stout beef. But if you have the pleasure, even a simple “special” toast is perfect!

After the manual harvest in our five historic vineyards in the municipality of Barolo, the grapes are de-stemmed and crushed in the cellar. Spontaneous fermentation follows in large concrete tanks, at a temperature between 22 ° and 28 ° for about 15 days. Subsequently, submerged cap maceration in concrete for 20 days, at which time the malolactic fermentation also takes place. The wine is racked into large Slavonian oak barrels where it will age for more than 24 months. This is followed by a passage in concrete tanks before being bottled.

Bright and fresh with sliced berries, peaches and citrus. Cranberries, too. Roses. Medium body. Firm and silky tannins and a bright and vivid finish. Best after 2026.

The wine captivates, with dark roasted cherries and incense, carrying a mélange of spices seemingly suspended in the glass. A hint of forest floor and dried leaves adds depth to the bouquet. A concentrated palate where the flavors of black cherries macerated in spirits dominate, accented by nuances of worn leather, tea leaves, and dried herbs. Fine tannins provide a structured finish to this complex ensemble. Drink Now - 2035 -J.P.
