Barolo

By Abbona, Dogliani, Piemonte, Italy

Abbona Barolo

Made from grapes grown in Perno, a small hamlet between Monforte d'Alba and Serralunga d'Alba, this Barolo has great finesse on the nose, power and a high alcohol level.

Tasting notes

Structured with great finesse on the nose; alcohol typically close to 15%. Fresher and more immediate than the estate's Pressenda and Ravera Barolo.

Vinification
Crushed and destemmed, followed by skin maceration.

Malolactic fermentation carried out entirely and spontaneously in barrel. Aged in barrel for a long period, then blended and bottled without filtration, resting in bottle at a constant 14°C for a few months before release.
Serving temperature
18°C, after bringing the bottle to room temperature for at least 24 hours.
Storage
Can be enjoyed already in its first few years in bottle.
