Barolo DOCG - Bruno Giacosa

The Barolo DOCG is a true classic of the Italian wine world. Its deep red color testifies to maturity and complexity. Aromas of dark berries, such as ripe cherries and blackcurrants, merge in the nose with fine notes of dried fruits and floral accents. As the wine unfolds in the mouth, it is accompanied by earthy nuances reminiscent of truffles and forest floor. Spicy notes of cinnamon and pepper add to the experience. The taste is powerful yet elegant, with well-integrated tannins that create a long, velvety texture. Each sip offers a interplay of fruit and structure that seduces the senses and lingers long after.

Vinification of the Barolo DOCG by Bruno Giacosa

The vinification of the Barolo DOCG is carried out with the utmost care. The grapes come from carefully selected vineyards in the Piedmont region. Here, they grow in an ideal climate that promotes perfect ripeness. 1. The grapes are hand-harvested to select only the best examples. 2. This is followed by gentle pressing, followed by a traditional fermentation that lasts several weeks.

The temperatures during fermentation are closely monitored to extract the aromas as effectively as possible. 3. After fermentation, the wine matures in oak barrels. This aging process ensures a harmonious connection of fruit and wood. 4. After a minimum aging period of two years in barrel and bottle, the Barolo DOCG is ready to reveal its full splendor.
