On the finish, this red wine from the Piedmont wine-growing region impresses with its considerable length. There are again hints of blackcurrant and plum. Mineral notes from the clay and limestone-dominated soils are added to the finish.

Vinification of Paolo Manzone Meriame Barolo

This powerful red wine from Italy is made from the Nebbiolo grape variety. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Piedmont. Here, the vines dig their roots deep into soils of clay and limestone. Once perfect physiological ripeness is ensured, the grapes for the Meriame Barolo are harvested exclusively by hand without the help of coarse and less selective harvesters. After the harvest, the grapes are quickly taken to the press house. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. Fermentation then takes place in large wooden vats at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by ageing for 38 months in 900-litre Slavonian oak tonneaux.
