Pairings: Ideal with grilled red meats, game, braised meats, and aged cheeses such as Castelmagno or Parmigiano Reggiano. It pairs perfectly with typical Piedmontese cuisine dishes, such as Barolo-braised beef, and rich first courses based on mushrooms and truffles.

Terroir: This Barolo comes from the hills of the Grinzane Cavour area, characterized by clayey and calcareous soils, ideal for Nebbiolo. The terroir, combined with a cool and sunny microclimate, allows for slow grape ripening, enhancing the wine's acidity and aromatic complexity.

Vinification: The grapes are harvested by hand and undergo a long fermentation in stainless steel to ensure maximum extraction of aromas and tannins. The wine then matures for 24 months in French oak barrels, a process that rounds out the tannins and adds aromatic complexity, followed by further bottle aging.

Description: The Barolo Garretti DOCG is a masterpiece from the La Spinetta winery, encapsulating the essence of the Langhe. It is a profound and refined wine, capable of evolving over time, offering an intense and engaging tasting experience. Perfect for those looking for an elegant Barolo with great aging potential, capable of enhancing traditional Piedmontese dishes.
