But it can be austere in its youth because Nebbiolo is naturally high in tannins and acid. According to the Barolo wine law, the wine must rest in oak barrels for at least 18 months. Although this is the longest period for Nebbiolo wines in the whole of Italy, Barolo winemakers still tend to leave it for much longer. For example, both Francone Baroloand ForteMasso Barolo Castellettoare matured in oak for 30 months. a b c d e f g h i j k J.

Like everywhere in Europe’s wine country, Barolo succumbed to phylloxera in the late 19 th century , economic depression in the 1930s , and two world wars . After World War II, Barolo was dirt poor and everyone went north to work in the factories to the north. An entire generation left the vines for places like Turin, where they make all of Italy’s cars, and Ivrea, where Olivetti produced its beautiful typewriters and the world’s first commercially viable computer. Evidently, such things were more profitable than fine wine in the 1960s.Most important crus: Arborina, Brunate, Cerequio, Conca, Fossati, Giachini, Marcenasco, Monfalletto, Rocche, Rocche dell’Annunziata, La Serra, Tettimorra and Santa Maria.

Barolo wine must be aged least 38 months, 18 of those in wood barrels like these at Fontanafredda. When Should I Drink It?Nebbiolo does not grow just anywhere. Attempts to produce it outside of just a handful of zones in Italy (all fairly close to Barolo) have mostly failed. Of those zones where Nebbiolo does grow – essentially Barolo, Barbaresco, Roero, Valle d’Aoste, Alto Piemonte and Valtellina – Barolo is set apart for having the highest concentration of limestone in its soils . Fontanafredda winemaker Danilo Drocco compares Barolo to “a lovely person who needs to be discovered little by little. Every time you open a bottle of Barolo, it gives off unique emotions and sensations.” Crumbled spicy ‘Nduja sausage, red onion and roast peppers in our rich tomato and basil sauce with a touch of cream Until recently it was believed that up to the mid-19th century, Barolo was a sweet wine. [4] This was attributed to the fact that the nebbiolo grape ripens late in October meant that temperatures would be steadily dropping by harvest. By November and December, temperatures in the Piedmont region would be cold enough to halt fermentation, leaving a significant amount of residual sugar left in the wine. Another popular credence was that in the mid-19th century, Camillo Benso, Conte di Cavour, the mayor of Grinzane Cavour invited the French enologist Louis Oudart to the Barolo region to improve the winemaking techniques of the local producers. Using techniques focusing on improving the hygiene of the cellar, Oudart was able to ferment the nebbiolo must completely dry, making the first modern Barolo. This new, "dry" red wine soon became a favourite among the nobility of Turin and the ruling House of Savoy, giving rise to the popular description of Barolo as "the wine of kings, the king of wines". [3] Being dependent on a grape that is slow to ripen, global warming has had a beneficial influence on the Barolo zone. Theoretically, the increased temperatures of summer followed by mild autumns that promote misty fog that keeps the grapes from burning has helped to increase sugar levels and led to riper phenolic compounds such as tannins. To empirically link this to anthropogenic global warming is speculative. More likely, better vineyard management and winemaking techniques have contributed to a string of successful vintages for Barolo in the last 20 years.
