Barolo DOCG Aimasso

Product description

The Barolo from Aimasso, has a full and intense garnet colour, fruity and spicy aromas; both on the nose and on the palate, the wine is reminiscent of small red fruits, but also gives hints of dried rose and violet, cinnamon and pepper, nutmeg, vanilla and sometimes liquorice, cocoa, tobacco and leather. Barolo must be aged for a minimum of three years, one and a half of which are aged in oak. Already very pleasant after 4-6 years, but this wine really reaches its peak after 10 years of ageing and remains excellent even after 20 years or more.

Combinations: roasted red meat, stewed meat, game and venison, truffles, hard cheeses and aged cheeses. It is advisable to allow the wine to oxygenate for at least two hours before serving.
