Barolo

2011 Barolo Nebbiolo

The Pio Cesare Barolo from the esteemed Barolo region is a remarkable expression of the Nebbiolo varietal, showcasing a stunning deep red color that hints at its complexity. This 2011 vintage presents a full-bodied profile, enhanced by high acidity that adds vibrancy and depth to the wine. The fruit intensity is prominent, dominated by flavors of dark cherry, plum, and notes of rose petal, bringing forth a delightful bouquet. The tannins are notably structured, providing a firm backbone that supports the wine's aging potential. Despite its richness, this Barolo remains dry, allowing the intricate layers of flavor to shine through. It is a powerful and elegant wine that truly captures the essence of its renowned region.

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.
