Barolo DOCG 2019, Pelassa

Nebbiolo from a good year in Barolo. It will taste stern tonight and remarkable in five years, and both of those are true. Barolo with fermentation of about 15/20 days at 26°C. De-stemming, soft pressing of the grapes. The must is pumped over on a dèlastage way to improve the extraction of the colour and the varietal aromas. After the malolactic fermentation the wine is matured in Slavonian and French wooden casks and barrels with weekly topping up, tastings and analyses to make sure the wine is developing correctly.

Ageing 3 years, 2 years in barrels and 12 months in bottle.

Characteristics brilliant garnet red colour. Deeply scented bouquet; it develops from the dry flowers and wild rose scent to "tar" exalting the ethereal bouquet. Velvety, rich, ripe taste; tannic impressive and well balanced. It is a powerful and rich wine.

Food pairing excellent with grilled red meats, meats cooked on the spit; "haute cuisine" white and red meats with white and dark sauces. Superb with truffle. It is best to decant and serve at 18°C.
