The Barolo DOCG 2009 from Giacomo Conterno is a true oenological gem, a milestone for lovers of great Italian reds. Hailing from the renowned Piemonte region, this Barolo is a celebration of the Nebbiolo variety, the grapes of which are grown on clay and limestone soils that give the wine extraordinary depth. With an alcohol content of 14.5°, it presents a powerful structure and unmatched elegance.
Upon opening, the wine reveals a complex bouquet that dances between notes of withered roses and prominently displayed red fruits, such as raspberry and black cherry. With aeration, nuances of Eastern spices, leather, and licorice emerge, while a delicate mineral underpinning refers to the unique terroir of the Langhe. On the palate, the 2009 Barolo offers a rich and enveloping tasting experience, with finely polished tannins that embrace the mouth and a savory freshness that balances the wine's power.
This wine is perfect when paired with braised red meat dishes, such as Barolo braised beef, or aged cheeses. It is also excellent on its own, for a moment of reflection, and can be cellared for years, developing further complexity. A wine that embodies the tradition and craftsmanship of the Conterno family, offering an experience that speaks of passion and dedication to quality wine.
