Giacosa Fratelli Barolo Scarrone Vigna Mandorlo Riserva DOCG 2012 is an impressive, mature Barolo with 14.5% vol. from one of the most prestigious vineyards in Piedmont: the historic Scarrone cru in the Barolo region. The single vineyard Vigna Mandorlo stands for maximum precision and terroir expression and, in combination with traditional ageing, produces a wine that shows depth, nobility and character in perfect form. This wine is produced by the prestigious Giacosa Fratelli winery, which has been known for generations for elegant, long-lasting 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 matures for several years in traditional large wooden barrels, allowing it to develop its harmonious balance of flavour, maturity and mineral freshness. The natural cork stopper emphasises the traditional craftsmanship and ensures quality over the Langs. The 2012 vintage is now at the peak of its drinking maturity and still has ageing potential until around 2025, when it can continue to develop its fine secondary flavours.

Tasting Note

In the glass, the Barolo Scarrone Vigna Mandorlo presents itself in a warm garnet red colour with a light brick-red rim. The nose is complex and mature with notes of dried roses, tar, undergrowth, cherry, liquorice and balsamic hints. The palate is structured, multi-layered and elegant with ripe tannins, well-integrated acidity, fine wood spice and a long, subtle finish. Maturity gives it a soft depth and great aromatic finesse.

Drinking temperature: 16-18 °C

This mature Barolo is the ideal accompaniment to braised beef, game dishes, rack of lamb, mature cheese or truffle dishes. It also offers a meditative drinking experience as a soloist and is perfect for quiet evenings, special occasions or as a gift for connoisseurs of mature wines. The Barolo Scarrone Vigna Mandorlo Riserva is an outstanding representative of its origin - traditional, powerful and with mature elegance.
