Pairings

In the first years, it can be paired with first courses with meat sauces and stuffed egg pasta and with important and tasty second courses, braised and stewed meats including game. It goes well with medium-long aged hard cheeses. After ten to fifteen years, it becomes excellent with very long-aged cheeses and truffle preparations. Finally, it is a wine to be enjoyed by itself.

Wine making The grapes, freshly harvested, are crushed and destemmed and left to ferment in temperature-controlled stainless steel wine vats; once alcoholic fermentation has started, daily pumping over begins to facilitate the extraction of the colour and primary aromas of the grapes from the skins. After 8 0 days, fermentation ends, and maceration at the submerged cap begins. This phase is very important because, in addition to prolonging the period of extraction from the skins, which began after crushing, it facilitates the stabilisation of the colour of the future wine. During maceration, which lasts 25-30 days, malolactic fermentation also takes place, thus making the wine microbiologically stable.
Aging In December, the ageing period in wood begins, which lasts an average of 30 months, followed by bottling and the very important bottle ageing that will make the great Barolo available to the consumer after a further 8 0 months.
