Cordero di Montezemolo Barolo Gattera 2017
The vineyard is located at the foot of a centenary Lebanese Cedar tree, on the highest South-West slope of Gattera cru. Old vines at 300 meters above sea level in rich and clay soil to provide an ideal maturation for a complex Barolo.

Colour

Deep ruby red.

Bouquet

Warm and mature nose with notes of jam, raspberry, liquorice, cherry and camphor.

Flavour

Soft in the mouth of remarkable structure with fine tannins and persistence.

Pairing

An aristocratic wine that finds its ideal match in game, jugged hare, braised beef, chamois, roe deer, wild boar, venison, and pigeon. Superb with dishes garnished with white truffles from Alba, like cardoon flan with fondue and duck ravioli.
