Italian Red Wine

cl Bottle
Barolo is the classic red wine of Piedmont, produced from the best vineyards from the hills around the town of Barolo. This is a rich and powerful wine which is velvety on the palate with the distinct bouquet of roses, violets and tar. Before release Neirano Barolo spends three years in large oak ‘botti’ and a further period in bottle to allow the tannins to soften and the wine to develop.
An eighteenth century mansion in the village of Casalotto in the Piemonte region represents the original nucleus of the Sperone family`s Nierano estate. Its origins began when Antonio Sperone began making wine in 1911. Today the company is still a family concern and is considered to be amongst the most important of Italian producers.
