Description
Casa Sant' Orsola Barolo (75cl)
Vinification Details: Harvested by hand, the grapes are collected in baskets before being taken to the winery. The grapes are crushed and fermented in stainless steel tanks with 10-15 days maceration. The wine is aged in oak barrels for a minimum of 24 months prior to bottling.
Regional Information: Barolo wines are made from the Nebbiolo grape grown in and around the village of the same name in Piedmont, Northern Italy. The zone of production extends into the communes of Barolo. Only vineyards planted in primarily calcareous clay soils in the hills with suitable slopes and orientations are considered suitable for Barolo production. Barolo is often described as having the aromas of tar and roses, and the wines are noted for their ability to age and usually take on a rust red tinge as they mature.
Tasting Notes: Garnet red in colour with orange nuances. The perfume is typical, ethereal, pleasant, intense with notes of violet and rose. Suitable for roast meats, game and meat dishes.
