The wine is known for its high tannins, rich aromas of roses, herbs, and tar, and its exceptional aging capacity. A Barolo DOCG requires a minimum aging period of 36 months, of which at least 18 months must be spent in oak. Typically, two years are spent in oak and one year in the bottle. If this aging period is extended to 60 months, the title Barolo Riserva can also be awarded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1054\" data-end=\"1082\"\u003e Origin and vineyards\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"1084\" data-end=\"1693\"\u003eThe Barolo region is located in the Langhe hills of Piedmont, around villages such as La Morra, Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo, and Castiglione Falletto. The landscape is characterized by steep hills with calcareous marl and clay soils, which give the grapes their structure and finesse. The microclimate, with warm summers and cool nights, allows for a long ripening period for the Nebbiolo grape, giving the wines their characteristic intensity and aromatic layers. Historically, Barolo became known as the court wine of the House of Savoy as early as the 19th century, expanding its status far beyond Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1695\" data-end=\"1714\"\u003e Grape and style\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"1716\" data-end=\"2274\"\u003eBarolo is made exclusively from the Nebbiolo grape.

Here, they are pressed and gently descaled to preserve only the finest aromas from the skins and outer part of the grape. Fermentation takes place in thermo-conditioned tanks at a controlled temperature. Skin maceration lasts ten days, with the fermenting juice regularly recycled from the bottom to the top of the tank to gently integrate the tannins and achieve the desired color. Once fermentation is complete, the grape's natural sugars are completely converted into alcohol. The wine is then racked in cement tanks lined with fiberglass and insulated with cork, where it rests at a post-fermentation temperature of approximately twenty-two degrees Celsius. This temperature triggers a natural process called malolactic fermentation, which transforms the harsh malic acid into a softer lactic acid, a process that takes approximately two months. The wine is aged for two years, partly in Slavonian oak barrels and partly in small, moderately toasted French oak barrels. Finally, the wine is blended in traditional large oak barrels and aged for another twelve months before being released.

The chalky soil is perfectly south-facing. After careful selection, the grapes are harvested by hand, and the wine is then aged in tonneaux and large wooden barrels for 24 months.

A truly unique piece of craftsmanship, in our opinion. Boroli works with passion and dedication to its territory in the Langhe region. The Nebbiolo vineyards owned by the company are located in two characteristic municipalities: Castiglione Falletto (Cascina la Brunella) and Barolo (Borgata Cerequio). All Barolo production and aging processes are concentrated in the winery's vinification and aging facilities at Cascina la Brunella, in the municipality of Castiglione Falletto. When we think of wine, we think of tradition, terroir, research, and the dedication of winemakers. Producing wine means telling a story. Each bottle has its own identity of flavors and aromas, but the quality of a wine is not enough without a story, a clear image of cultural heritage, places, cellars, and people. The Barolo from Castiglione Falletto has a story. The idea of ​​producing a Barolo wine from the Castiglione Falletto terroir arose after years of study in the vineyards carried out by the Boroli estate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2\u003eThe old vineyard of Boroli\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThrough the vineyard and critical observation of the plots, certain areas were identified that, due to environmental and cultural factors, were better suited to express the unique characteristics of the terroir and the production of Barolo from Castiglione Falletto. At the heart of this wine lies a desire: to convey the unique character of the territory, making it recognizable to all Barolo lovers. But there's more. After conducting extensive research in the town's historical archives, the Boroli family discovered a document attesting to the existence of Collina Brunella since 1624. Or rather, it reveals the connection between the Brunella vineyards and the inhabitants of Castiglione Falletto. The wine produced by Cascina La Brunella was sold to the locals. This tradition has lasted for over 400 years and is now continued by the Boroli family. The Langhe region is renowned worldwide for its production of quality wines and valuable delicacies and products. Here in Castiglione Falletto, the passion for wine and the art of viticulture have been passed down through generations, keeping traditions alive and preserving a priceless oenological heritage. The vineyards of Castiglione Falletto, in particular, are renowned for the production of Barolo wine, known as the \"king of wines.\" The limestone-rich soil and the privileged location of the vineyards provide favorable conditions for producing exceptionally high-quality Barolo, characterized by intense aromas and a complex structure. Boroli's Barolo from Castiglione Falletto embodies the excellence of the Langhe region, thanks to the care, dedication, and respect for traditional production methods and times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2\u003eFull and very powerful this Boroli Barolo di Castiglione Falletto\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Barolo is characterized by a garnet-red color with orange highlights; it is complex and intense on the nose.

In Boroli's Barolo from Castiglione Falletto, we recognize spicy notes accompanied by fruity and floral hints. Its structure, with velvety and linear tannins, makes it truly distinctive on the palate. Overall, the bouquet opens with aromatic notes ranging from raspberry and blood orange to gardenia.

The vineyards are situated at an altitude of around 400 meters on hills with a mix of chalky marl and layers of sand, a combination that gives both structure and finesse to the Nebbiolo. Bussia has been the family's home since the 1920s and still forms the core of the 25-hectare winery surrounding the Poderi Aldo Conterno farm and cellar. The vines are planted with the classic Nebbiolo clones Michet and Lampia and are planted close together, with low yields and a great deal of manual work in the vineyard. The harvest is carried out entirely by hand in the second half of October, with strict selection in the vineyard, ensuring only perfectly ripe bunches reach the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1441\" data-end=\"1468\"\u003e Vinification and maturation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"1470\" data-end=\"2444\"\u003eAfter being harvested by hand, the grapes are destemmed and fermented in horizontal stainless steel tanks, a type of vat the estate has used for years to ensure gentle yet efficient maceration. Skin maceration typically lasts 2 to 3 weeks, depending on the vintage, and gradually develops color, aroma, and tannins without overlying the wine. The young wine then remains in stainless steel for another 4 to 5 months, where it is racked several times for clarification. Barolo Bussia 2021 is then placed in large Slavonian oak barrels, where it ages for approximately 26 to 28 months. This long aging in large oak barrels gives the wine its classic Barolo structure, with a gentle development of aromas without overpowering oak notes. After barrel aging, the wine is bottled and continues to mature in the bottle before release. The alcohol content is around 14.5%, balanced by the robust acidity so characteristic of Nebbiolo from Monforte.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"2446\" data-end=\"2471\"\u003e Grape composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"2473\" data-end=\"2815\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2473\" data-end=\"2511\"\u003eNebbiolo – Bussia, Monforte d'Alba\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2511\" data-end=\"2514\"\u003e Aldo Conterno Barolo Bussia 2021 is 100% Nebbiolo, made primarily from the Michet and Lampia clones, sourced from the estate's own vineyards in Bussia on calcareous marl with sandy layers; this combination produces intense red and black fruit, firm yet refined tannins, and a clear mineral backbone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"2817\" data-end=\"2850\"\u003e Tasting notes and serving suggestions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"2852\" data-end=\"3749\"\u003eIn the glass, the wine displays a deep ruby ​​red color with transparent edges.

The grapes from this plot are known for their combination of ripe red fruit, floral notes, firm yet ripe tannins, and pronounced minerality, resulting in a Barolo with great complexity and a very long development curve in the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"3072\" data-end=\"3103\"\u003e Tasting notes and serving suggestions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"3105\" data-end=\"4382\"\u003eIn the glass, Pio Cesare Barolo Mosconi 2018 displays a deep garnet color with a light brick rim, befitting a classic Nebbiolo from a grand Cru. The nose opens with red and dark fruit notes such as cherry and plum, surrounded by rose petals, violets, and subtle hints of orange peel, licorice, and fine herbs. Swirling reveals more earthy and balsamic nuances, including tar, warm earth, and a touch of camphor and graphite, beautifully reflecting the depth of the Mosconi soil. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and concentrated, with a core of ripe fruit supported by precise, fine, yet firm tannins and lively acidity that adds tension and length. The finish is very long, with lingering notes of red fruit, spice, and a salty, almost smoky minerality, making each sip an invitation to the next. Serve this Barolo ideally at around 16–18°C in a large Pinot\/Nebbiolo glass and give it ample time in a carafe, especially in its youth. At the table, Mosconi 2018 is best paired with rich meat dishes such as ribeye or sirloin steak, beef or game stews, dishes featuring autumn truffle and mushrooms, or with aged hard cheeses, where its structure and complexity will fully reveal themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2 data-start=\"4384\" data-end=\"4398\"\u003eAwards\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-start=\"4402\" data-end=\"4432\"\u003e 2018 – 97 p (James Suckling)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-start=\"4435\" data-end=\"4480\"\u003e 2018 – 95 p (Robert Parker's Wine Advocate)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-start=\"4483\" data-end=\"4513\"\u003e 2018 – 94 p (Wine Spectator)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-start=\"4516\" data-end=\"4538\"\u003e 2018 – 95 p (Vinous)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Vinites","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44384383696975,"sku":"018908","price":129.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/PioCesareBaroloMosconi.webp?v=1768905153"},{"product_id":"pio-cesare-barolo-ornato","title":"Pio Cesare - Barolo Ornato","description":"\u003ch2 data-end=\"44\" data-start=\"0\"\u003e Pio Cesare Barolo Ornato 2020 Barolo DOCG\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-end=\"548\" data-start=\"46\"\u003e Pio Cesare Barolo Ornato 2020 is the single-vineyard Barolo from this historic estate in Alba, originating from the Cascina Ornato cru in \u003ca title=\"Barolo from Serralunga\" href=\"https:\/\/perfectewijn.nl\/collections\/appellatie-serralunga-d-alba\"\u003eSerralunga d'Alba\u003c\/a\u003e .

The vineyard forms a natural basin with full southern exposure, from early morning to late afternoon, allowing Nebbiolo to ripen optimally without losing its freshness. The soil consists of calcareous marl and clay with sandy inclusions, typical of Serralunga d'Alba, which translates into powerful tannins, plenty of structure, and a distinct mineral undertone in the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-end=\"1650\" data-start=\"1109\"\u003eOrnato was one of the Pio family's first major vineyard acquisitions in Serralunga d'Alba and is considered one of the estate's top plots within Pio Cesare. Only the finest microplots within the cru are selected for Barolo Ornato, and yields are deliberately kept low to maximize the intensity of the fruit and terroir. The family estate itself still stands within the old Roman city walls of Alba, where five generations of Pio Cesare have cultivated a classically oriented yet precisely executed style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"1677\" data-start=\"1652\"\u003e Vinification and maturation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-end=\"2201\" data-start=\"1679\"\u003eThe harvest for Barolo Ornato 2020 is entirely handcrafted, with strict selection of the bunches in the vineyard and upon arrival at the cellar. The grapes are destemmed and fermented in stainless steel tanks at relatively high temperatures, with a long skin maceration of approximately 30 days, allowing color, aroma, and tannins to be gradually extracted from the skins. This classic Barolo vinification produces a robust structure, yet precise temperature control preserves the aromas' clarity and refinement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-end=\"2839\" data-start=\"2203\"\u003eAfter fermentation, the majority of the wine is aged for approximately 24 months in large French and Eastern European oak barrels. A smaller portion is also aged in French oak barriques for the first 12 months, which adds extra layering, sweet spices, and a subtle toasted note. After blending the individual batches, a further period of bottle aging follows in Alba's cellars, until the wine's structure has sufficiently melded. The result is a Barolo with serious power and concentration, yet with refined tannins and a remarkably precise, linear style, designed for long-term aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"2864\" data-start=\"2841\"\u003e Grape composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-end=\"3190\" data-start=\"2866\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-end=\"2914\" data-start=\"2866\"\u003eNebbiolo – Cascina Ornato, Serralunga d'Alba\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr data-end=\"2917\" data-start=\"2914\"\u003ePio Cesare Barolo Ornato 2020 is 100% Nebbiolo from selected microplots in the Ornato cru, where the combination of chalky marl, full southern exposure and low yields produces intense red fruit, powerful yet ripe tannins and a pronounced mineral character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"3223\" data-start=\"3192\"\u003e Tasting notes and serving suggestions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-end=\"3662\" data-start=\"3225\"\u003e In the glass, the 2020 Barolo Ornato reveals a ruby ​​red color with garnet reflections.
