Barolo Coste di Rose 2019

Marchesi di Barolo (hentet 19. okt. 2026): Organoleptic characteristics: The color is bright ruby red with delicate garnet notes. The scent is intense, notes of dog rose and peony prevail, together with a crunchy spiciness of black pepper and cloves; the finish of delicate woody notes makes it a Barolo of great elegance. On the palate it is broad and velvety, with a refined structure in which the tannin blends perfectly. Production area: Coste di Rose is a prestigious Barolo hill facing east and characterized by a notable slope which favors excellent ripening of the grapes. The soils, medium calcareous, are rich in quartz sand and very fine silt which give the grapes - and therefore the wine - intense floral characteristics. Winemaking: The grapes are rigorously harvested by hand and a selection of the best bunches is made already in the vineyard. Once it arrives in the cellar, it is selectively destemmed and delicately pressed. Alcoholic fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature: a range of 24-26°C is maintained to preserve all the aromatic potential characteristic of the specific terroir. Through repeated delestage and pumping over, we proceed with a maceration of 15-18 days aimed at gradually maximum extraction of the noble polyphenolic part of the skins. Aging: After racking, the wine begins a period of clarification and rest in vitrified concrete tanks, before continuing maturation in wood. The evolution lasts about two years. During the first year the wine matures in small French oak barrels, with the aim of fixing the color and increasing the aging potential; the percentage of new woods is perfectly balanced to maintain the identifying characteristics of this Cru unchanged. The second year the wine ages in large Slavonian oak barrels in which the characteristics of finesse and elegance are enhanced. The complete expression of the wine is obtained after a period of at least 1 year of rest in the bottle.
