Description
Barolo DOCG Riserva “Essenze” is a Barolo blend of the finest pedigree. It is produced only in special vintages. Despite utilising traditional winemaking practices, the house style emphasises full-bodied wines with emphatic fruit. After long maceration on the skins for some 25 days, malolactic fermentation is completed in steel. The wine is then matured in oak for 36 months. The blend takes place before bottling selecting the best expressions of the vintage. Aged at least 24 months in bottle for this premium Riserva.
TASTING NOTES
Ethereal, with hints of violets, blackberry jam, licorice and cloves, dry on the palate, full-bodied, with silky tannins and a lovely chocolate, berry aftertaste.
FOOD PAIRINGS
Excellent with White Alba Truffles, Venison, Wild Boar, Roasted Lamb Shoulder, Veal Chops, and Stewed Rabbit. For Cheese pairings, Fontina, Gorgonzola, Robiola, stinky Taleggio, and Parmesan Cheese
