Barolo and its Cru: the art of Nebbiolo elevated to majesty
In the heart of the Langhe, where the hills of Piedmont paint landscapes of rare beauty, the Barolo is born, a wine that represents the pinnacle of elegance and complexity of Nebbiolo. Often called "the king of wines and the wine of kings," Barolo is the result of a centuries-old tradition intertwined with the passion and innovation of its producers.
The Barolo comes to life from a unique terroir, characterized by a soil rich in clay and limestone, ideal for the cultivation of Nebbiolo, the only grape variety used for its production. The cru, or Additional Geographical Mentions, represent the different nuances of this wine, each telling a different story thanks to the specificity of the microclimate and soil that originate them.
Fermentation and aging in wooden barrels are meticulous processes that last for years, during which the Barolo develops its characteristic aromatic bouquet of ripe red fruits, withered rose, spices, and undergrowth. On the palate, it is a wine of great structure, with velvety tannins and a persistence that seems to defy time.
Exploring the cru of the Barolo means immersing oneself in a sensory journey through the microzones of La Morra, Barolo, Serralunga d'Alba, Monforte d'Alba, and Castiglione Falletto, each with a distinct personality. La Morra, for example, offers softer and more fragrant wines, while Serralunga d'Alba gives wines of extraordinary power and longevity.
