Wine list | Barolo |
This sensational red wine represents Italy in the entire world. It is produced in Piedmont with 100% Nebbiolo, in the refined varieties of Michet and Lampia. The grapes are harvested when they reach the perfect maturation. Traditional red wine making. The aging is divided in two phases: first, it is developed in barriques made of French oak, and then it continues in the bottle, where the wine rests horizontally at controlled temperature.
