Castello di Verduno Barolo Monvigliero Riserva 2017

Castello di Verduno's 2017 Barolo Monvigliero Riserva is a distinguished expression of Nebbiolo from the esteemed Monvigliero vineyard in Verduno, Piedmont. Situated at 280 meters above sea level, this south-facing vineyard benefits from fine white marl soils, contributing to the wine's exceptional quality.

The wine undergoes a meticulous vinification process, including a 30-day maceration with manual punch-downs and fermentation using indigenous yeasts. It is then aged for 30 months in large oak barrels, followed by 40 months of bottle aging, allowing for the development of its complex character.

On the nose, it reveals fresh notes of red fruit and spices, with a pleasant hint of cinnamon. The palate is elegant, with soft tannins and a balanced structure, showcasing the wine's finesse and aging potential.

This Barolo pairs well with hearty dishes such as braised meats, game, and aged cheeses. Its complexity and balance make it enjoyable now, with potential for further development with age.

Castello di Verduno's commitment to traditional winemaking techniques and the unique terroir of Monvigliero are evident in this exceptional Barolo, offering a profound expression of the region's heritage.
