WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Red, with yellowish orange hints due to the ageing process. Dry, velvety and austere, with a bouquet of faded rose, violet, spicy and rich with gorgeous ripe fruit, very aromatic. Aged three years in large oak casks and in bottles for the final six months.
Pair with red meat, game, and pungent cheeses.
TASTING NOTES:
The 2021 Tenute Neirano Barolo displays a radiant garnet color and opens with alluring aromas of dried earth and subtle forest nuances. On the palate, it reveals bright red currant flavors underscored by fine tannins and lively acidity, creating a poised and energetic expression. This wine’s vibrancy and structure make it a superb match for a piquant Piedmontese meat stew such as Spezzatino al Barolo—a slow-braised beef dish enriched with wine, aromatic herbs, and root vegetables.

This has an earthy character, with hints of dried strawberries and cherries, dried orange peel and a touch of undergrowth. Solid and structured with medium to full body and firm tannins. Complete and lingering. Try after 2027.
