The Barolo  by Gian Luca Colombo is produced from 100% Nebbiolo grapes sourced from various cru vineyards located in the area of Roddi (CN) and surroundings, at an altitude ranging between 220 and 240 meters above sea level. The winemaking process took place separately for each vineyard and included a maceration phase of the must in contact with the skins at controlled temperature for a period of 22-60 days. Aging occurred for 18 months in large barrels of Austrian oak and for an additional 4-6 months in terracotta or cement. No clarification or filtration operations were performed.

BAROLO DOCG GIAN LUCA COLOMBO: TASTING

The Barolo by Gian Luca Colombo presents itself with a ruby red color with garnet reflections. On the nose, it expresses aromas of cherry and ripe red fruits that combine with hints of dried violet and toasted notes with dark spices. Completing the olfactory profile are nuances of toast and undergrowth. The palate, deep and elegant, reveals a silky tannic structure and a gentle minerality that lingers into the long finish. It pairs well with aged cheeses as well as rich dishes based on red meats or game.
