No doubt that Barolo is one of the great wines from Piemonte. It is wellknown all over the world for bi an elegant and austere, complex and important noble wine.
It is produced from the Nebbiolo vineyards that are cultivated in a limited area, including some parts or the whole hill regions of Barolo, La Morra, Cherasco, Verduno, Roddi, Grinzane Cavour, Diani d’Alba, Serralunga, Monforte d’Alba, Castiglione Faletto and Novello. It is aged for three years (two of which in wooden barrels) in order to reach a perfect balance.
The colour is red, tending to garnet and orange red. The Barolo has an intense nose, with hints reminding of candy liquorice and liquorice roots, dried mushrooms, tobacco, mint and the spicy aroma of pepper. The palate is full, astringent and warm, the tannins are well balanced with sourness, which prolongs its flavour.
It is an important wine, which needs a lot of care in order to develop all its beauty and richness. It goes well with robust dishes; diffrent kinds of meat, seasoned cheese, fried mushrooms or it can be be enjoyed at any time, as a corroborant and a solace.
