Produced from Nebbiolo grapes, it presents a garnet colour with orange highlights. The bouquet is complex and deep, with notes of raspberry, rose petals and violet that blend with tertiary hints of leather, tobacco and liquorice. On the palate, it reveals an \u003cstrong\u003eopulent structure\u003c\/strong\u003e, perfectly balanced by a harmonious acidity and \u003cstrong\u003esilky, refined tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e, leading towards a \u003cstrong\u003epersistent finish\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is the ideal companion for red meat dishes, game and mature hard cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis prestigious wine comes from Verduno, one of the most renowned areas for Barolo production. The grapes are selected from \u003cstrong\u003eold vines\u003c\/strong\u003e located in the Boscatto and Monvigliero crus, at an altitude of between 300 and 350 metres above sea level. The terrain, characterised by \u003cstrong\u003ecalcareous-clay soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, is essential for giving the wine a marked complexity and the \u003cstrong\u003epalate structure\u003c\/strong\u003e necessary to ensure an extraordinary evolution over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduction\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins with a careful manual harvest, followed by fermentation in steel at a controlled temperature. A \u003cstrong\u003ebrief contact with dry ice\u003c\/strong\u003e during the fifteen days of maceration allows the aromatic complexity to be enhanced. The wine initially matures separately for five years in \u003cstrong\u003elarge oak casks\u003c\/strong\u003e; subsequently, the blend is created followed by a further five years of ageing in wood, completed by resting in the bottle. This long ten-year journey produces a glass of exceptional balance and rare consistency.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBel Colle's \u003cstrong\u003eBarolo DOCG Riserva\u003c\/strong\u003e originates from a historic family estate founded in 1967, representing the ultimate expression of the region.
