Barolo DOCG Castellero
Note di degustazione
The entire philosophy of our Barolo Castellero (is a cru between Barolo and Monforte d’Alba) is rigorously traditional, with fairly lengthy macerations followed by long maturations of about 18 months in 30 or 50-hectolitre oak Slavonian barrels and 6 months bottle ageing before release.
It can be enjoyed after a few months in the bottle, but will continue improving and developing its elegance during the year.
Colour: ruby red, very intensive red.
Fragrance: very pleasant and delicate, recalling wilted roses and notes liquorice and wood vanilla.
Taste: velvety, dry, rounded, rich and balanced in body and structure.
Temperature: 16/18 °C
Pairings: risottos, fondues, game, red meat and meat in general (roasts, grilled or skewered).
