Description
In a nutshell:
A richly flavoured, expressive Barolo, and a good example of this Piedmontese speciality.
The lowdown:
Barolo is probably Piedmont's most famous wine and is made from the capricious Nebbiolo grape variety that needs careful handling. Araldica's head winemaker, Lella Burdese, is responsible for this well made example. After fermentation it spends a full three years maturing in Slavonian oak casks which gives it a full and firm character. It's quite an expressive style with Barolo's classic combination of mature, lightly floral aromas combined with richness and structure. The dark plum, leather and delicate violet aromas, plus notes of woodsmoke and brown spice among the rich and powerful dark fruit flavours all vie for attention here. It's all balanced by ripe tannins, complex savoury notes and a long finish. An immensely likeable and pleasantly modestly priced example of its type.
When to drink:
It's most definitely a food wine and roasted red meats and game are its natural partners.
Suitable for Vegans
