Barolo Riserva DOCG - Magnum - Pianpolvere Soprano Bussia 2009

The Barolo Riserva DOCG in Magnum format from the "Pianpolvere Soprano Bussia" vineyard is a majestic expression of the Nebbiolo grape, produced in one of the most prestigious areas of the Barolo denomination. The choice to present this wine in a Magnum format (1.5 litres) not only highlights the importance and exceptional quality of the wine, but also offers significant advantages in terms of ageing, allowing for a slower and more harmonious maturation that enhances the complexity and the finesse of Barolo Riserva.

The "Pianpolvere Soprano" vineyard, located in the renowned Bussia sub-area of ​​Monforte d'Alba, is known for its ideal microclimate and clay and limestone soils which give Nebbiolo a distinctive depth and character. The "Riserva" designation indicates that the wine has undergone an extended period of aging, typically exceeding the standard requirements for Barolo DOCGs, resulting in a more complex structure, softer tannins and a more evolved aromatic bouquet.

During winemaking, particular attention is paid to the management of tannin and acidity, to ensure that the wine maintains the elegance and balance characteristic of great Barolos. Wood aging, which often includes a period in large barrels so as not to overwhelm the varietal character of Nebbiolo, further contributes to the complexity of the wine, adding layers of tertiary aromas such as notes of tobacco, leather and sweet spices.

Visually, the Barolo Riserva "Pianpolvere Soprano Bussia" in Magnum format presents the typical garnet red color of Nebbiolo, with orange reflections that tend to intensify with aging. On the nose, the wine opens with a wide range of aromas, from ripe red fruit to complex notes of dried flowers, spices, wet earth and chocolate, offering an olfactory depth that invites tasting.

In the mouth, the wine demonstrates a remarkable balance between power and finesse, with velvety tannins and a lively acidity that contributes to an extraordinary sip length. The richness of the palate evolves towards a persistent and layered finish, which leaves room for reflections on the complexity and elegance that only a Barolo Riserva of this caliber can offer.

Ideal for special occasions and memorable tastings, the Barolo Riserva "Pianpolvere Soprano Bussia" in Magnum format is perfect for accompanying rich and savory dishes, such as braised meats in Barolo, game and mature cheeses, and promises a favorable evolution for the years to come, representing a treasure for every cellar.
