Terre Rubine
Barolo DOCG
Wine Type: Red Wine
Country: Italy
Region: Piedmont
Grapes: 100% Nebbiolo
Tasting Notes: Red garnet color with orange nuances which become more accentuated as years go by; delicate, etheric, intense, full and lingering aromas; full, complex, dry and harmonious. Its austerity is linked to the presence of sweet and complex tannins.
Aging: Vinification in stainless steel temperature-controlled vats. Maturation for 6 months in stainless steel vats. Aged 24 months in large Slavonian oak barrels.
Food Pairings: Excellent with roast meats, game dishes, and mature cheeses.
Notes from the Winery: ”Renowned the world over, this noble descendent of Nebbiolo wine has its roots in the Italian Unification. Many illustrious figures bore witness to its origins, like Marchesa Giulia Falletti di Barolo, Count Cavour and the first royalty from the House of Savoia. An austere, generous wine, quite ageable, which is considered a merit in Italian oenology. The municipalities in the Barolo production area are: La Morra, Monforte d’Alba, Serralunga d’Alba (with its exceptionally wellpreserved medieval military fortness), Castiglione Falletto (its symbol, a round medieval tower, is private property just like the manor), Novello, Grinzane Cavour, Verduno, Diano d’Alba, Cherasco and Roddi.”
James Suckling: “Structured and broad, this succulent red shows notes of ripe red and dark fruit, spices, cedar and nutmeg. Medium-to full-bodied with compact yet well-integrated tannins and an even, lingering finish. Drink after 2026.”
