2020 Terre del Barolo - Barolo HALF BOTTLE (375ml)

Packaged in a precise 375ml format, the 2020 Terre del Barolo delivers the full aromatic complexity and structured finish expected from a classic Nebbiolo bottling. Balanced daytime warmth and cool night cycling during the 2020 season produced fruit with concentrated phenolic ripeness while retaining natural acidity. The resulting profile offers layered expectations—crushed cranberry, dried cherry, violet blossom, and a distinct graphite note—supported by polished tannins that grip cleanly through the finish. Extended maturation in large wooden vessels preserves the varietal’s native texture, allowing savory tertiary characters like cured leather and sweet tobacco to emerge gradually without masking the primary fruit.

Serve this half-bottle alongside robust dishes that align with its acid-driven architecture. Slow-braised beef (brasato al Barolo), wild mushroom tagliatelle, or aged Langhe cheeses complement its earthy undertones seamlessly. The compact size proves ideal for sharing across multiple courses, sampling alongside charcuterie selections, or measuring a precise pour without committing to a standard 750ml bottle. Gently aerate or decant for twenty minutes before pouring to unlock the tighter early notes, and transfer any unused portion to a stoppered container in the refrigerator to maintain peak integrity for two to three days.
