Barolo riserva
The Barolo VIGNA D’VAI Riserva is a wine of rare beauty, produced in the heart of the Langhe, a region renowned for its winemaking tradition in Piedmont, Italy. This Reserve stands out for its exceptional quality, crafted from 100% Nebbiolo grapes harvested from vineyards with an average age of 45 years, on soils balanced with clay, silt, and sand.
The winemaking process involves red fermentation with daily punch-downs and extended submerged cap maceration for up to 30 days. Aging then occurs in small oak barrels for 24 months, followed by another 10 months in 25 HL barrels, and finally, the wine undergoes further bottle aging for 7 years before being released to market, imparting its unmistakable complexity and depth.
The color of this Barolo Riserva is a brilliant intense garnet red with slightly orange reflections. On the nose, it offers a broad and clear olfactory profile with distinctive notes of licorice, hay, and mint. In the mouth, the wine is full-bodied, harmonious, warm, with a persistent and pleasant aftertaste.
Regarding food pairings, this wine pairs perfectly with main courses, white meats, and game. The Barolo VIGNA D’VAI Riserva is a testament to the passion and winemaking rigor of Piedmont, Italy, a true delight for the most discerning palates.
