About this deal

Limestone , when it comes to Nebbiolo, produces structure . Of all the world’s Nebbiolo, Barolo produces the highest volume, most concentrated and most structured wines. It is typically high in alcohol, but the alcohol is supported by tannins, concentration, and often good acidity . Only neighboring Barbaresco has a similar effect on Nebbiolo, but Barbaresco has less limestone and the climate is slightly warmer. It’s enough to make a difference. How different? I wrote a blog post on this very topic which you can read here.

Most important crus: Arborina, Brunate, Cerequio, Conca, Fossati, Giachini, Marcenasco, Monfalletto, Rocche, Rocche dell’Annunziata, La Serra, Tettimorra and Santa Maria. The Barolo zone can be broadly divided into two valleys. The Serralunga Valley to the east includes the communes of Castiglione Falletto, Monforte d'Alba and Serralunga d'Alba. Planted with soils higher in sand, limestone, iron, phosphorus and potassium, the wines of Serralunga Valley tend to be austere and powerful and require significant ageing (at least 12–15 years) to develop. The Central Valley to the west includes the communes of Barolo and La Morra with soils higher in clay, manganese and magnesium oxide. This region tends to produce wines with more perfumed aromas and velvety textures. These wines tend to be less tannic and full-bodied than those from the Serralunga Valley and can require less ageing (8 to 10 years). [7] The most widely planted and productive region of the Barolo zone is La Morra, which is responsible for nearly a third of all wine labelled as Barolo and produces twice as much wine as the next leading zone of Serralunga d'Alba. [11] The "crus" of Barolo [ edit ] This vintage was a challenging one due to rainy weather, which pushed most growers to harvest early.

Who Will Enjoy A Glass Of Barolo Wine?

Roasted fillet of North Atlantic cod served with a classic Sicilian peperonata of slowed cooked onions, red peppers and plum tomatoes scented with fresh basil and olive Young Barolo does seem to require mea t, ideally red, or perhaps wild mushrooms, but middle-aged and old Barolo is remarkably versatile : you can make vegetarian dishes and sushi work just fine! But Piedmontese cuisine is excellent; why not learn a few dishes to cook up for the next time you break out your favorite bottles? Michael Garner and Paul Merritt.

The grapes that we vinify are rich in aromas and polyphenols, therefore in the cellar we just have to extract with winemaking – and preserve and stabilize with ageing – the fruit that this outstanding vineyard is able to provide us with.” Barolo wine ageing in large oak barrels in the Forte Masso winery (photo: author) Barolois a red wine, made in the Piedmont region of northern Italy. The name Barolo refers to the region, or 'zone of production' which is an area to the south west of Alba, and south of Turin. The rules of productionhave always stipulated thatBarolohad to be made from grapes grown on hillsides, but recent revisions have gone further by excluding vineyards planted in valley floors, areas without limited sunlight and areas with full-on northern exposures. In other words, the Italians take this wine very seriouslyand it is consequently awarded DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita)status,the highest qualitylevel in the Italian wine classification system."The hills cluster in three main groups, thus forming two valleys that run north-south : the Central Valley , on the west side of the DOC, and the Serralunga Valley , on the east side . Penne pasta with mixed sautéed mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes in a fresh basil and mascarpone cream sauce Barolo is often described as having the aromas of tar and roses, and the wines are noted for their ability to age and usually take on a rust red tinge as they mature. Barolo needs to be aged for at least 36 months after the harvest before release, of which at least 18 months must be in wood. [2] When subjected to aging of at least five years before release, the wine can be labeled as Riserva. [3]
