What are the characteristics of Barolo wine?
Like all wines that reflect the territory they belong to, the organoleptic characteristics of Barolo are well recognizable. Barolo presents to the eye an intense ruby color of a certain transparency, which turns towards orange with the passing of the years. Wanting to make a comparison, Barolo shares this special characteristic with the great Burgundy Pinot Neri. The nose is another unmistakable trait: ethereal bouquets studded with currants and other small red fruits, spices, nutmeg, leather, even licorice, yet a Barolo is mainly recognized for its aromas reminiscent of the Langhe: hazelnuts and truffles. In the mouth the Barolo surprises for its measure and finesse, earthiness and structured tannin, coffee and spices. One thing is certain, regardless of the scents: Barolo does not accept compromises, it should not be drunk young and gives its best with the passage of time.
Who are the main Barolo wine producers?
Barolo is not a wine that follows a single trend. In fact, the story of the Barolo Boys who in the 80s imposed themselves on the market to revolutionize its rules, introducing modernism in production by reducing the ageing time, is well known. This split is still active among the producers of the Langhe. Vite Colte, Pio Cesare, Oddero, Sabaudo, L'Astemia Pentita, Fontanafredda, Josetta Saffiro, Prunotto are just some of the names of Barolo producers that we can recommend. So you just have to uncork and re-uncork, in search of your production style of choice! We can't wait to know which one is your favorite!
