The Barolo DOCG 2020 from Cascina Sot, hailing from the picturesque town of Monforte d'Alba, is a wine that embodies the essence of Piedmont and the distinctive Nebbiolo variety. With an alcohol content of 14.5%, this Barolo presents itself with a deep garnet red color, enveloped in ruby reflections that evoke the richness of the Monforte terroir.
On the nose, it bursts forth with an incredibly complex bouquet that combines aromas of ripe red fruits like cherries and raspberries with more sophisticated notes of wilted rose, tobacco, and sweet spices. Each sip is a journey where the nuances of truffle and damp earth intertwine in an enveloping harmony.
On the palate, the wine unfolds with a vibrant, silky tannic structure that supports a dynamic freshness, bringing balance and length to the mouthfeel. The finish is long and persistent, reminiscent of dark chocolate and leather.
This wine is at its best when paired with elaborate dishes: braises, roasts, and stews of red meat, and even aged cheeses provide unforgettable tasting encounters. Excellent for a toast on special occasions, this Barolo is destined to age magnificently, revealing further complexities and nuances over time. A true expression of the territory, not to be missed by wine lovers.
