The Barolo DOCG "Conterno Giacomo" 2017 is an undisputed emblem of Piedmontese winemaking tradition, a wine that embodies the art and passion of a family that has dedicated generations to producing high-quality wines. Hailing from the historic vineyards located in the Langhe, this Barolo features a variety of Nebbiolo grapes that, with its unique climate and rich marl soil, endows the wine with an unparalleled personality.
On the nose, it opens with a complex and captivating bouquet: notes of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and raspberries, intertwine with hints of roses, resin, and a delicate spiciness of black pepper. After careful aging in oak barrels, the palate reveals an elegant and well-structured tannicity, balanced by vibrant freshness. Aromas of tobacco and leather emerge in the finish, creating a deep and enveloping tasting experience.
The 2017 Barolo is perfect to pair with rich and hearty dishes, such as a Barolo braised beef, porcini mushroom risotto, or aged cheeses. With an alcohol content of 15°, this wine is ideal for aging, but can also be enjoyed now to fully appreciate its complexity and expressive potential. A true treasure to discover and appreciate over time.
