Barolo

2011 Barolo Nebbiolo

Burlotto Barolo is a captivating expression of Nebbiolo from the esteemed Barolo region, showcasing the intricate characteristics of this noble grape. This red wine presents a beautiful garnet color that hints at its age and complexity. The body is robust, providing a full-bodied experience, while the acidity is bright and invigorating, lifting the palate and enhancing its food-friendly nature. With prominent fruit intensity, the wine reveals layers of cherry, rose petal, and earthy notes, seamlessly intertwined with subtle tannins that offer a firm structure but remain approachable. The wine is predominantly dry, allowing the nuanced flavors to shine through, making it a remarkable choice for any occasion where quality is paramount.

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.
