Barolo

2003 Barolo Nebbiolo

The Bruno Giacosa Barolo from the prestigious Barolo region embodies the essence of outstanding Italian winemaking.

With a full-bodied character, it showcases an impressive structure supported by pronounced acidity and robust tannins that promise age-worthiness and a refined mouthfeel. The fruit intensity is striking, offering deep notes of dark cherry and plum, complemented by earthy undertones and hints of rose petal. This exceptional Barolo, renowned for its complexity, is bone-dry, making it a perfect accompaniment for hearty dishes and a showcase of the magnificent terroir from which it originates.

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
