Piedmont's 2017 growing season led to Barolo packed with vibrant red fruit, gripping tannins, and fresh acidity gained from cool evenings juxtaposed with the intense summer heat. Bricco Gaiano produced a stunning effort that displays crushed cherry, rose petals, tobacco, and earthy mineral notes to complement its deftly balanced structure. For under $20 and free shipping on four bottles, this noble Italian wine will shine alongside truffle-infused cheeses, beef brasato, or homemade agnolotti.

Production Notes
This great Barolo comes from the subvarieties of Nebbiolo grape (Michet, Lampia, and Rose) from the Langhe area in Piedmont. It is aged for eighteen months in big wooden barrels and twelve months in the bottle.

Tasting Notes
The color is ruby red with garnet nuances. The bouquet is intense, elegant, and complex, with mature red fruit, tobacco, and goudron notes. Due to the wine structure, the taste is pleasant, full, and harmonic.

Service
This wine that can be aged for years is perfect with roasted meat, elaborate courses, and hard cheese. Serve at 18-20 degrees C.
