The Barolo Riserva Durè by Achele Viglione is an authentic tribute to the Langhe territory, one of the most noble areas of Piedmont. Obtained from carefully selected Nebbiolo grapes, it smells of withered roses, ripe cherries, and sweet spices, revealing a sophisticated and complex bouquet. The prolonged aging in wooden barrels enhances the soft structure and silky tannins, giving the wine depth and longevity.

The 3-liter Jèroboam version kept in an elegant wooden case not only represents a prestigious choice for grand occasions but also best expresses the expressive power and balance typical of this riserva. Perfect to accompany red meat dishes, braised meats, and aged cheeses, the Barolo Durè enchants with its timeless elegance, offering an intense and refined sensory experience. A masterpiece of Piedmontese tradition to share during the most important celebrations.
