Vinification

After the grape harvesting and gentle pressing process, the must is therefore sent to steel tanks to ferment at a controlled temperature of 27°C for 15 days. This wine undergoes a period of ageing not inferior to 3 years, during which at least two years are spent in oak or chestnut barrels. During this period the wine grows rich of the wood elements and it gets rid of undesired substances that are eliminated by means of traditional enological practices. Once the ageing period is over, the Barolo undergoes a wine-tasting test carried out by a special committee, in order to get the government marks that guarantee the origin and the quality of D.O.C.G. wine.

Serving Suggestions

It goes particularly well with game and traditional Piedmontese dishes. It’s also appreciated combined with pasta with a strong tomato or truffle sauce.
