Wine-Making:
To further enhance the characteristics of this vineyard, as soon as
the grapes have been harvested they are stripped of their stalks and
subject to prefermentation maceration in small vats at a temperature
of 12°C for 72 hours. Fermentation then follows with gentle maceration
at a temperature of 30-32°C, with racking of the completely dry product.
Refinement:
The wine is first of all placed for 12-16 months in small French oak
casks and completes its refinement in traditional casks for a further
12-14 months until reaching its full gustatory equilibrium.
This is followed by bottling and maturation for year in the bottle before
the wine is placed on the market.
Organolectic Features:
Barolo comes from the Cerrati cru and displays intense, meditative perfumes:
from floral hints of wild roses to suggestions of mint and thyme, with
fruity components of cherry and pressed red currants then emerging,
followed by an aroma of mushroom and undergrowth.
Food and Wine:
A wine with an intense personality, it goes well with robust second
courses, game in general and strong cheeses.
Temperature:
Best served at a temperature of 18-20 °C.
Storage:
This wine should be stored in a horizontal position, in a fresh and
ventilated place and protected from light and vibrations.
