Barolo 2019
Region: Italië
Producer: Terre di Carlin
Why we chose this wine
In Barolo too, Davide Rivetti keeps it classic: thirty days of maceration and two years in large Slavonian oak casks, not small barriques. The wine comes from La Morra, known for its perfumed, more elegant style. Not an alcoholic heavyweight, but a Barolo that shows the finesse of Nebbiolo.
