Barolo del Comune di La Morra DOCG 1,5 l Magnum - Brandini

The Barolo del Comune di La Morra 1.5 l Magnum, aged in cask and originating from the Piedmont wine-growing region, presents itself in the glass with a dense ruby red color. When the glass is slightly tilted, a transition of the wine’s color towards garnet red can be seen at the edges of this barrel-aged wine. After the first swirl, this red wine reveals high viscosity, which shows in church windows on the glass wall. On the nose, this Brandini red wine displays all kinds of sour cherries, raspberries, and plums. As if that were not already impressive, additional aromas such as licorice join in due to the aging in large wooden casks.

This Italian wine delights with its elegantly dry flavor profile. It was bottled with only 0.4 grams of residual sugar. This is a genuine quality wine that clearly sets itself apart from simpler qualities and thus, despite all its dryness, this Italian enchants with the finest balance. Excellent flavor does not necessarily require a lot of sugar. On the palate, the texture of this powerful red wine is wonderfully velvety. Thanks to its lively fruit acidity, the Barolo del Comune di La Morra 1.5 l Magnum appears wonderfully fresh and vibrant on the palate. The finish of this matured red wine from the Piedmont wine-growing region, more precisely from Barolo DOCG, ultimately convinces with a remarkable length.
