The Barolo DOCG Conterno Giacomo 2018 is a wine that embodies the unmistakable charm of Piedmont's winemaking tradition, expressing all the robust character and complexity typical of this prestigious denomination. Sourced from the hills of Monforte d'Alba, the Nebbiolo grape, the choice variety for Barolo, delivers a wine of great structure and depth. The 2018 vintage was marked by favorable climatic conditions, allowing the grapes to ripen optimally and express their full potential.
In terms of visual examination, the wine presents an intense garnet red color, which tends to vary in shades and brightness with aging. On the nose, the bouquet is a sensory journey ranging from notes of withered rose petals to hints of red fruits such as cherry and plum, delicately enveloped by a subtle spice of black pepper and tobacco. On the palate, the tannic structure manifests with elegance, balanced by a lively freshness that makes the drinking experience extremely enjoyable. The compact and well-integrated tannins promise a long evolution over time.
This Barolo pairs beautifully with rich and flavorful dishes, such as Barolo braised meat or porcini mushroom risotto. It is a wine that invites contemplation, perfect for savoring on special occasions, but equally noteworthy for those who wish to indulge in a moment of refined pleasure. Conterno Giacomo 2018 is more than just a wine; it is an experience that celebrates the art of winemaking and the richness of the Piedmontese terroir, an ode to passion and patience, irresistible for any lover of fine wine.
