Its aromatic profile opens with clear notes of violet and rose, intertwined with cinnamon and nutmeg, then evolves towards tertiary hints of tobacco, leather and truffle. On the palate, it is dry, elegant and austere, supported by a \u003cstrong\u003egenerous yet extremely smooth tannic structure\u003c\/strong\u003e, capable of enveloping the sip in a harmonious way. Its solid structure makes it the ideal pairing for bold and rich dishes, particularly enhancing \u003cstrong\u003ebraised red meats\u003c\/strong\u003e, very mature cheeses and traditional egg pasta with truffle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis red originates in the \u003cstrong\u003eLanghe region\u003c\/strong\u003e. The vines sink their roots into the so-called white soils, compact and impermeable soils characterised by a composition \u003cstrong\u003erich in clay and limestone\u003c\/strong\u003e. This unique geology encourages the plant to dig deep in search of water, giving the wine great longevity. Marchesi di Barolo interprets this landscape with precision, enhancing the characteristics of its vineyards to achieve a taste profile of absolute solidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVinification begins with gentle destemming and crushing, practices aimed at extracting only the noblest and most aromatic part of the skins. Fermentation at a controlled temperature involves a \u003cstrong\u003emaceration on the skins\u003c\/strong\u003e of about ten days, supported by delicate pump-overs. After racking, the wine is transferred to special vitrified cement vats insulated with cork, ideal for retaining heat and encouraging a spontaneous \u003cstrong\u003emalolactic fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e. The long maturation process takes place over three years in large \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by a further period of rest that definitively stabilises the complex sensory structure.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1806 in the heart of the Langhe, the Marchesi di Barolo winery enhances the value of \u003cstrong\u003eNebbiolo\u003c\/strong\u003e, creating wines of exceptional longevity. The illustrious \u003cstrong\u003eBarolo DOCG Riserva\u003c\/strong\u003e 2016 embodies this heritage, maturing for three years in large Slavonian oak barrels before a long period of bottle ageing. Released to the market six years after the harvest under the guidance of oenologist Marco Marsili, this noble red boasts prestigious \u003cstrong\u003einternational awards\u003c\/strong\u003e that attest to its absolute excellence and timeless appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Marchesi di Barolo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44847342354603,"sku":"54892","price":73.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/marchesi-di-barolo-barolo-riserva-2016_54892_1_26f19116-74a5-4ee9-b343-f48b248563c9.webp?v=1773756705","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/en-be\/products\/marchesi-di-barolo-barolo-riserva-2016","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
