Araldica's top tier Barolo from selected vineyards. An approachable, richly-flavoured style expertly blended by Lella Burdese.
PRODUCTION
Vines are trained on a low Guyot trellis at 4-5,000 vines/ha. The grapes were hand-harvested, destemmed and then crushed to small fermenters, for 12 days, with daily pumping-over. The wine was drained off at dryness, and the skins transferred to a small press. After pressing the wine was settled for two days, and then racked to stainless steel tanks for malolactic fermentation. After three years maturation in 50hl Slavonian oak casks it was racked from oak and gently fined.
TASTING NOTE
A fine, expressive style with Barolo's classic combination of mature, lightly floral aromas with richness and structure. Dark plum, leather and delicate violet aromas, plus notes of woodsmoke and brown spice. A full, firm and ripe red with rich, powerful flavours. All balanced by ripe tannins, complex savoury notes and a long finish.
