This 1996 vintage Barolo is a true gem for connoisseurs and lovers of long-aged wines. A historic vintage for the Piedmont region, 1996 was a year that provided Nebbiolo grapes of exceptional quality, allowing for the production of wines with great structure and aging potential.

Presented in an elegant wooden case, each 50 cl bottle is an invitation to discover the depth and complexity that only a Barolo of this stature can offer. The color is an intense garnet red, with hints that start to turn orange, a sign of evolution due to the years spent in the bottle.

On the nose, the wine displays a complex bouquet, intertwining notes of ripe red fruit, such as plum and cherry, with nuances of leather, tobacco, and a slight touch of wet earth, which develop into a delicate scent of dried violet.

On the palate, the 1996 Barolo reveals a robust structure and well-integrated tannins, balanced by a still vibrant freshness, leading to a long and persistent finish. Its elegance pairs beautifully with intense dishes, such as braised meats, meat stews, or aged cheeses.

The storage in a wooden case has greatly benefited this wine, allowing for optimal aging. It is ideal for special occasions or as a meaningful gift for a lover of fine wines, guaranteeing an unforgettable tasting experience and a magnificent expression of the Piedmontese terroir.
