Barolo, Azelia

BAROLO

An impeccable balance. Castiglione Falletto and Serralunga d’Alba match here in a superlative way. In Castiglione, where the soil is more calcareous and white, the grapes acquire elegance and an aromatic complexity while in Serralunga the more clayey soil transmits character and body. The vines of the six vineyards used for this wine are on average 45 years old. Aroma and finesse with power and body at the same time. Sweet nose, with hints of cherry, black currant and licorice. Fruity tannins. A union of characters. Aged for two years in large casks. In the vintages in which Barolo Riserva is not produced its grapes contribute, with their superb quality, to this exceptional Barolo
