Winery: Francesco Rinaldi & Figli
Region: Piemonte (Piedmont)
Locale: Barolo, Italy
Appellation: Barolo
Designation: DOCG

In a few words:  A harmonious wine with a full and dry taste.

Site: This wine comes from the Nebbiolo vines which grow in the vineyards situated around the villages of Barolo and La Morra, following the traditional procedures of local winegrowing. Sandy soils.

Grapes: 100% Nebbiolo, selected and hand-picked in the vineyard around mid-October.

Fermentation and Aging: A prolonged fermentation of about 20 days takes place in stainless steel tanks and after pumping the wine over the cap, when alcoholic fermentation is over, the new wine is decanted and aged in 5,000 L and 11,000 L Slavonian oak casks.

Notes: This is a traditionally produced and styled Barolo that is a joy to drink even when relatively young -- though it will improve, if from a good vintage, from 15 to 50 years in your cellar. Pairs very well with braised meat, game and cheese. About 40,000 bottles produced.
