Description
The Barolo from the Collezione del Conte by Villa da Filicaja is made from a selection of grapes sourced from different municipalities in the Barolo area, including Castiglione Falletto, Cherasco, Diano d'Alba, Verduno, and Grinzane Cavour.
It is made exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes, harvested strictly by hand in October and fermented with maceration for 14–16 days at a controlled temperature of 28-30°C. After completing the malolactic fermentation, the wine undergoes ageing for 38 months in mixed oak barrels, of which at least 18 are spent in French oak barrels.
Deep garnet red with orange highlights in appearance, it bursts on the nose with an elegant floral bouquet of violets, enhanced by notes reminiscent of small red fruit and leather. On the palate it is structured and harmonious, pleasantly smooth and persistent.
Recommended with mushroom-based first courses, it is perfect with typical Piedmontese cheeses and Alba white truffle. Try it paired with braised meat or game.
