Aculei® Barolo DOCG

A Barolo from three crus — Castagni, Ravera, Bussia — vinified separately before blending.

Nebbiolo 100%, on clay-limestone. Hand harvest into crates. Destemming and cold maceration, then fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tank for 7 to 10 days, with regular pumping over and rack-and-return. Post-fermentation maceration of twenty days. Eighteen months in oak cask for each cru.

In the glass — Garnet red. Intense, spicy nose, with supple, harmonious tannins and touches of red fruit, violet and rose. Balanced and round on the palate, finishing on fruit and spice.

At the table — Truffle dishes, red meats, game, aged cheeses. And, more unexpectedly, very good with dry pastries and chocolate.

Serving — 18 to 20 °C. 14.5% vol. 75 cl.
