Giribaldi Barolo Cerviano Merli 2016

Barolo Cerviano Merli, still red, 2016 vintage, from Piedmont, produced by Azienda Agricola Mario Giribaldi. 14% vol, 100% Nebbiolo. 0.75 l format. A Barolo born from the passion of a family that has cultivated the land of Novello for three generations. Traditional submerged cap vinification for twenty days, with daily pumping over and regular punching down, at a temperature of 30-35°C to promote color extraction. Aged in oak barrels, tonneaux of French origin, then aged in bottle until today in an underground cellar at a constant temperature of approximately 16°C. On the nose, a lovely aroma of red fruit, strawberry, cherry and berries with a hint of white pepper, typical of these crus and the land of Novello. On the palate, a warm sensation of vanilla, red fruits, rather dry, soft and enveloping, with sweet tannins; the spice also returns on the palate, combining with the fruit in an unparalleled elegance.
