Description
The Barolo from the Collezione del Conte by Villa da Filicaja is obtained from a selection of grapes coming from different municipalities in the Barolo area, including Castiglione Falletto, Cherasco, Diano d'Alba, Verduno, and Grinzane Cavour.
It is made exclusively with Nebbiolo grapes, handpicked in October and fermented with maceration for 14-16 days at a controlled temperature of 28-30°C. After completing malolactic fermentation, the wine undergoes aging for 38 months in mixed oak barrels, with at least 18 months in French oak barrels.
Intense garnet with orange reflections to the eye, it explodes on the nose with an elegant floral bouquet of violet, sprinkled with notes reminiscent of small red fruits and leather. On the palate, it is structured and harmonious, pleasantly soft and persistent.
Recommended with first courses based on mushrooms, it is perfect with typical Piedmontese cheeses and Alba white truffle. Try it paired with a stew or game.
