To the eye, it presents a garnet red colour, introducing a fresh bouquet characterised by small red fruits and delicate floral hints. The olfactory profile is enriched by spicy notes, with hints of \u003cstrong\u003eliquorice and sweet tobacco\u003c\/strong\u003e accompanied by slight notes of leather. On the palate, it is elegant and perfectly balanced, supported by robust tannins that guarantee remarkable \u003cstrong\u003elongevity\u003c\/strong\u003e, and it is recommended to decant it for an hour before serving it at eighteen degrees.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates in the municipality of Serralunga d’Alba, in the heart of Barolo, from vineyards located at an altitude of between two hundred and two hundred and twenty metres. The rows enjoy an eastern exposure and are trained using the Guyot system. The uniqueness of this area lies in the white \u003cstrong\u003ecalcareous-marly soil\u003c\/strong\u003e of Miocene-Helvetian origin, with sandy veins that give the wine a firm tannic texture and a profound territorial identity. The meticulous \u003cstrong\u003eselection of the bunches\u003c\/strong\u003e, carried out manually in the vineyard and on sorting tables, ensures that only the best fruit reaches the \u003cstrong\u003ePico Maccario\u003c\/strong\u003e winery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe harvest takes place in early October, followed by gentle de-stemming and crushing. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. During the \u003cstrong\u003emaceration\u003c\/strong\u003e of approximately fifteen days, frequent punching down and gentle pumping over are performed to encourage a harmonious extraction of colour and structure. The wine then matures for a period of between eighteen and twenty months in \u003cstrong\u003ebarrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, developing balance and aromatic complexity. Further ageing in the bottle precedes commercialisation, completing a \u003cstrong\u003eminimum ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e of at least three years to ensure a structured and deep sensory profile.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pico Maccario","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47497690906795,"sku":"62311","price":36.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/pico-maccario-barolo-del-comune-di-serralunga-d-alba-2022_62311_1_18dd3756-8bc1-4e73-8680-dccb8501d39b.webp?v=1785856251","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/products\/pico-maccario-barolo-del-comune-di-serralunga-dalba-2022","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
