The Giacosa Fratelli Barolo Scarrone Vigna Mandorlo Riserva DOCG 2013 is a powerful yet finely matured red wine from the heart of Piedmont, which, with an alcohol content of 14.5% vol. and a profound character, impressively embodies the essence of a great Barolo. It comes from the historic single vineyard of Scarrone, specifically the Vigna Mandorlo plot, which is renowned for its exceptional location and ideal microclimate. This Riserva Barolo is produced by the renowned family-run Giacosa Fratelli winery, which is known for its artisanal, elegant and long-lived wines.

The Nebbiolo grape variety, used exclusively for this wine, expresses its full potential here: powerful and structured, yet with the elegance and depth typical of the Lager. The wine is aged traditionally in large wooden casks, which lend it its subtle spice, complex aromas and a solid framework for ageing. The Barolo Scarrone Riserva is bottled with a high-quality natural cork, which further supports its ageing potential. The 2013 vintage now displays mature harmony and has a ageing potential until around 2025, during which time it can fully develop its delicate tertiary aromas.

Tasting Note

In the glass, the Barolo displays a deep, garnet-red colour with an orange sheen. On the nose, it offers a rich, complex bouquet of dried cherries, plums, violets, tobacco, leather and earthy notes. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with ripe tannins, lively acidity, subtle oaky notes and a long, balanced finish. Its maturity lends it an elegant depth and a delicate, aromatic complexity.

Serving temperature: 16–18 °C

A mature Barolo such as this pairs superbly with braised game, flavourful beef, mature cheeses, truffle dishes or classic Piedmontese specialities such as brasato al Barolo. Even when enjoyed on its own – decanted and left to breathe – it reveals its full aromatic complexity. The Barolo Scarrone Vigna Mandorlo Riserva is a wine for connoisseurs with an appreciation for tradition, depth and the great art of Piedmontese winemaking.
