The King of Wines: Gianni Gagliardo Barolo DOCG

Poderi Gianni Gagliardo’s flagship Barolo is a powerful yet approachable expression of the Nebbiolo grape, often called the ‘King of Wines.’ This wine is a sophisticated blend sourced from prime vineyard parcels across five historic communes (La Morra, Monforte, Serralunga, Barolo, Verduno). This traditional approach creates an elegant, complex, and notably ready-to-enjoy Barolo with outstanding cellaring potential.

Tasting Notes & Profile

• Color: Intense garnet red, developing into classic brick-red hues with age.
• Nose: An effusive and complex aroma profile featuring hallmark notes of ripe cherry, plum skin, subtle cranberries, dried rose and violet petals, underscored by a classic touch of tar and licorice dust.
• Palate: Full-bodied and structured, yet refined. The wine shows lively, polished tannins balanced by refreshing acidity, leading to a long, savory, and meaty finish with hints of rhubarb.
• Cellaring: Built to age, this wine will evolve gracefully over 10 to 15 years.

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

This noble red demands a hearty partner. Decanting for one hour is highly recommended to allow the tannins to soften and the aromas to fully emerge. Serve at 64-68°F (18-20°C).

• Pairings: Perfectly matched with dry-aged steaks, slow-braised meats like Osso Buco, or any dish featuring the luxurious white truffle of Alba.
