Description
What kind of wine is it
The Barolo from the Comune di La Morra by Enzo Boglietti is a red wine made exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes. It shows a soft, silky and juicy profile, with firm yet fine-grained tannins. An already approachable Barolo, offering pleasing drinkability today and promising to grow over time.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from vineyards in La Morra, in the Langhe, in Piedmont. The soil is silty clay loam, slightly alkaline and very poor in organic matter, a combination that gives the area’s wines an elegant, silky profile.
How it is made
Fermentation lasts 20 days at controlled temperature, with daily punch-downs and pump-overs that favor a balanced extraction of color and tannins. This is followed by 24 months of aging in French oak, which rounds out the palate and adds spicy nuances without masking the fruit of Nebbiolo.
Tasting notes
In appearance it is ruby red. On the nose it is fragrant and generous, with notes of raspberry, wild cherry and carnation, accompanied by spicy nuances of paprika. On the palate it is soft, silky and juicy, with ripe, well-balanced acidity and firm yet fine-grained tannins.
Food pairing
It pairs well with the classic, substantial dishes of Piedmontese cuisine: tajarin al ragù, brasato al Barolo, red meats and game, as well as aged cheeses. The balanced acidity and fine tannins support the savoriness and succulence of these dishes.
When to serve it
A red for special occasions and for sit-down dinners with structured dishes. Already enjoyable today, it shows its best after a few years of bottle aging: its elegance is at its peak between 7 and 8 years, and it can evolve for up to 12–15 years. A large-bowled glass and a bit of aeration enhance its aromas.
