Italy, a country with a long history and culture, is not only famous for its beautiful scenery and rich food, but also a paradise for wine lovers. Italian wine enjoys a high international reputation because of its unique terroir and winemaking techniques. Among them, the Barolo wine produced in the Piedmont region has the reputation of "the king of wine"!
Barolo wine is one of the earliest Italian wines rated as DOCG, and it is also the pride of the Piedmont region. After centuries of ups and downs, Barolo wine has become a symbol of wine lovers’ identity, with its own strong personality.
Barolo wines are made from Nebbiolo, a native Italian grape variety, and are aged in oak barrels for at least three years, and the top Reserve requires five years. Barolo wine is the best wine for aging, at least ten to twenty years old. Therefore, when tasting Barolo wine, it is necessary to open the bottle for at least an hour to sober up.
The wines are varied and rich, with a deep ruby or cherry red color and often have aromas similar to ripe strawberries, tar, rose, violets, and truffles. On the palate, Barolo wines tend to have intense tannins, but can become more rounded with proper ageing. The richness and persistent finish of this red wine is unforgettable, like a journey for the palate.
For wine lovers, Barolo wines are a must-try treasure. Whether at a wine tasting or at a gathering with friends and family, this wine can add a luxurious ambience to the occasion. However, its rich and special flavor can complement a variety of cuisines, whether it is classic Italian dishes or international cuisine, it can achieve a perfect balance against it.
