Then, wine is bottled and an 8 months rest period in cellar is needed.
Characteristics of Barolo wine
Barolo DOCG presents a red ruby colour with shades that make it full and intense. On the nose, this is a fruity wine: raspberry, vanilla and cherry stand up among a variety of notes. It’s a structured wine with an excellent length. In spite of its 15% strength, it proves to be very balanced. Bottle aging is excellent: over the years many flavors will rouse.
