Giacosa Fratelli Barolo Scarrone Vigna Mandorlo Riserva DOCG 2012 is an impressive, mature Barolo with an alcohol content of 14.5 per cent, hailing from one of Piedmont’s most renowned vineyards: the historic Scarrone cru in the Barolo region. The single vineyard Vigna Mandorlo epitomises the utmost precision and expression of terroir and, combined with traditional ageing, produces a wine that displays depth, nobility and character in their most accomplished form. This wine is produced by the esteemed Giacosa Fratelli winery, which has been renowned for generations for its elegant, long-lived wines from the heart of Piedmont.

The Barolo is made exclusively from the noble Nebbiolo grape variety, which is famous for its powerful structure, fine acidity and great ageing potential. The wine was aged for several years in traditional large wooden casks, allowing it to develop its harmonious balance of complexity, maturity and mineral freshness. The natural cork closure underscores the traditional craftsmanship and ensures the wine’s quality over the long term. The 2012 vintage is now at the peak of its drinking maturity and still has ageing potential until around 2025, during which time it can continue to develop its delicate secondary aromas.

Tasting Note

In the glass, the Barolo Scarrone Vigna Mandorlo displays a warm garnet red colour with a slightly brick-red rim. The nose is complex and mature, with notes of dried roses, tar, undergrowth, cherry, liquorice and balsamic hints. On the palate, it is structured, multi-layered and elegant, with ripe tannins, well-integrated acidity, subtle oak notes and a long, subtle finish. Its maturity lends it a soft depth and great aromatic finesse.

Serving temperature: 16–18 °C
