Pelassa Barolo "San Lorenzo di Verdurno" DOCG 2018 - Country: Italy - Capacity: 0.75

100% Nebbiolo, this wine is made exclusively from grapes harvested, by hand, in the vineyards of the historic San Lorenzo Cru located in the municipality of Verduno. Vinification is traditional, with fermentation lasting around 15/20 days at a controlled temperature, during which the must is regularly stirred to maximise the extraction of colour and varietal aromas. This is followed by classic malolactic fermentation and long maturation in Slavonian and French oak Tonneaux. It takes at least 4 years, 2 of which are spent in wood, before the Nebbiolo reaches the right maturity to be offered on the market. At that point, however, Barolo San Lorenzo expresses all the refinement typical of Verduno wines, with hints of spice and rose petals, velvety tannins, beautifully softened and elegant. Rich yet extremely refined, it is a great red wine for ageing, if stored carefully. To appreciate it at its best, it is necessary to choose the pairing carefully. Ideal with fondue, it also goes well with first courses with game sauces, red meats and tasty cheeses. Excellent, in the right season, also with truffles. ...
