The Gillardi 2015 Barolo DOCG is a wine that embodies the essence of the Langhe, a renowned area for its winemaking tradition and devotion to Nebbiolo. This Barolo, the product of a particularly favorable vintage, displays an intense garnet red color, signaling the complexity and depth of its character.
Upon opening, it reveals a captivating bouquet of ripe red strawberries, rose petals, and integrated spice notes. With aeration, earthy hints of truffle and a slight balsamic note emerge, echoing the unique terroir of the Piedmont hills. The palate is enveloping, with well-structured tannins and a minerality that provides freshness. The flavors evoke notes of Morello cherry, licorice, and subtle hints of vanilla, all framed by exquisite elegance.
Its long aromatic persistence makes each sip memorable. Perfectly paired with red meat dishes, such as Barolo braised beef or filet mignon with a brown sauce, it also beautifully complements aged cheeses. A wine that not only represents an icon of Italian enology but is also suited for long years of aging, developing further complexities and nuances. A true must-have for any wine enthusiast.
