This Vite Colte Barolo Essenze has a great price and embodies the essence of typical Barolo characteristics. What more could you want! A not super intense ruby red color (Fun fact: the Nebbiolo druif heeft ook geen sterke kleur van zichzelf) met rustieke geur impressies van tabak, kruidnagel, blauwe pruimen en truffel. Lekker veel aardsheid. In de mond direct een rijpe aanzet van nougat, chocola, zoethout en blauwe pruimenjam. Geroosterde koffie en een Monte Christo sigaar ronden het af. Tannines uiteraard wel aanwezig, daar is het Nebbiolo voor! Tannines, maar niet over de top , en hierdoor blijft de wijn toegankelijk. Om nog meer te kunnen genieten van deze prachtwijn uiteraard wel even een 2 uur van te voren uit de fles in de karaf. Eventueel daarna weer terug in de fles voor net die extra beluchting. Hier praten we over oogst 2013 dus de Vite Colte Barolo Essenze is al lekker op gang aan het komen. Tegelijkertijd kunnen we deze wijn nog zeker 10 jaar in de kelder bewaren.
Make sure to pair it with a delicious stew. Wild boar neck slow-cooked on the Big Green Egg BBQ is also a great friend to this Barolo.
Essenze is an assembly of several vineyards from the zones La Volta, Ravera, Castiglione, Bussia and La Morra in the Piedmont region
Traditional vinification, fermentation, and maceration for 25 days, after which the wine ages in new oak barrels for 24 months and then ages in the bottle for at least 6 months. This superb Barolo wine received “3 bicchieri” in the Gambero Rosso. It also received 93 points from American wine writer James Suckling, known from the magazine “Wine Spectator”.
