Log in / Sign up Mario Giribaldi Barolo Cerviano Merli DOCG Riserva 2016
The berries for this 2016 Giribaldi Barolo Cerviano Merli Riserva Lagenwein come from a parcelI of the winery in the municipality of Novello. In the upper part of this plot there is the area of Cerviano, in the lower part the area of Merli.
Cerviano has the shape of an amphitheater and a sheltered position. Merli lies on an even ridge culminating in a rounded crest. This plot benefits from a southern exposure and is located at 320-450 meters above sea level.
The manual harvest takes place at the end of October and the subsequent fermentation takes place over a period of almost a month in stainless steel fermentation tanks. This is done at a constant temperature of 30ºC and when fermentation is complete, the wine is again left to rest in steel tanks for two months. Finally, the aging takes place in large oak barrels for more than 60 months. The wine is then stored in the bottle in underground cellars at a constant temperature of 16ºC before being sold.
The Barolo shows a maturing ruby red with a brick-colored rim in the glass. On the nose it is fruity and rather spicy with slightly spicy notes. Elegant, structured and dense on the palate. A tannic wine with good balance. depth and length. Has very good expansion potential. Recommended drinking window: 2022-2032
Excellent with red meats, and game, roasted meats and stews. An excellent meditation wine. After ageing this wine pairs remarkably with dark chocolate and chocolate puddings.
Ruby red colour with orange brick reflexes that become apparent after a few years of aging. On the nose evident red fruit, strawberries, cherries and black forest fruits. A little white pepper on the nose is evident, which is a characteristic of this specific area of Novello.
Warm vanilla sensations in the mouth, red fruit, dry and soft with wrapping sweet tannins. Slightly spicy notes mingle with the red fruit making this wine uniquely elegant.
