This Barolo displays structure and precision, supported by a dense tannic texture that gives the palate compactness and deep harmony. Its aromatic profile is distinguished by notes of ripe plum, tobacco and dried mushrooms, interwoven with hints of mint, rosemary and cinnamon. In the glass, it shows a \u003cstrong\u003eruby red\u003c\/strong\u003e colour with elegant garnet reflections. Ideal for pairing with red meat dishes, game and mature cheeses, it has excellent ageing potential and is perfectly suited as a \u003cstrong\u003econversation wine\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from the Lazzarito cru, in Serralunga d’Alba, among the hills of Piedmont. The vineyards are situated at an altitude between 350 and 400 metres, with \u003cstrong\u003esouth and south-west exposures\u003c\/strong\u003e that ensure optimal ripening. The soils, of Miocene-Helvetian origin, are characterised by the presence of \u003cstrong\u003ewhite-grey calcareous marl\u003c\/strong\u003e, a geological matrix that gives the wine its renowned structure and intense tannic texture. Mirafiore adopts an approach based on \u003cstrong\u003esustainable viticulture\u003c\/strong\u003e, managing the vineyards organically to best express the authenticity of the land and the identity of the grape variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter destemming and crushing, the must undergoes frequent pumping over to optimise phenolic and colour extraction. During fermentation, the temperature is gradually lowered and \u003cstrong\u003edelestage operations\u003c\/strong\u003e are carried out to encourage yeast oxygenation. The process continues with a long \u003cstrong\u003esubmerged cap maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e for over forty days, followed by malolactic fermentation in concrete vats. Ageing takes place for two years in large \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, a stage that stabilises the wine and enriches its complex aromatic profile before the final rest in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1878 in Serralunga d’Alba, Casa E. di Mirafiore produces a prestigious Barolo DOCG that encapsulates the essence of the illustrious \u003cstrong\u003eLazzarito cru\u003c\/strong\u003e.
