Description
What kind of wine it is
Scarzello Barolo Boschetti is a still red wine that reflects the essence of Piedmontese Nebbiolo. Produced in the Barolo area, this wine displays a ruby red colour and clear aromas of red fruits accompanied by elegant hints of violet. On the palate, it is full and persistent, distinguished by a rare delicacy and a subtle structural texture. When served at the correct temperature, it is enhanced when paired with red meats, game, and mature cheeses, offering a harmonious and inviting sip.
Where it comes from
This red wine is born in Piedmont, in the renowned Barolo area, carefully crafted by Scarzello. The grapes come from the Boschetti vineyard, a plot where the vines are around one hundred years old. The presence of very few surviving vines makes production extremely limited and distinctive. The roots delve into a unique sandy soil, a natural element that helps shape a sensory profile devoted to elegance. These century-old vines ensure precise aromatic maturity, imparting marked finesse and a deep connection to their place of origin.
How it is produced
The production process begins with long macerations combined with gentle extractions, techniques designed to naturally define the character of the wine. The wine is then matured in large barrels for a minimum of eighteen months. This stage in wood allows for a balanced evolution, respecting the integrity of the fruit. This is followed by a long period in the bottle, an essential phase to perfectly integrate every gustatory component. Thanks to this meticulous method, the wine guarantees an excellent evolution over time, revealing an ageing potential that will gracefully extend over the next decade.
History and Curiosities
