Gianni Gagliardo Barolo Del Comune Di La Morra: The Velvet Iron Fist

The Barolo Del Comune Di La Morra from Poderi Gianni Gagliardo is a benchmark of Piedmontese elegance. Sourced from the renowned Tortonian soils of La Morra, this wine achieves a level of aromatic finesse and early accessibility that sets it apart from the more austere Barolos of the eastern communes, all while retaining Nebbiolo’s profound structure and longevity.

Tasting Notes (Sommelier Note)

• Color: Pale, brilliant garnet, which will develop stunning brick-red hues with cellaring.
• Nose: A complex, ethereal bouquet of dried rose petals, violet, ripe cherry, liquorice, and the signature Nebbiolo notes of tar and balsamic.
• Palate: Powerful yet exquisitely elegant. The tannins are fine and silky-a hallmark of La Morra’s terroir-perfectly balanced by vibrant acidity. The wine culminates in a long, refined finish, earning its nickname: an “iron fist in a velvet glove.”

Pairing & Serving

Decant this luxury Barolo for at least two hours and serve at 65°F (18°C). Its structure and complexity demand rich, savory partners.

• Dedicated Pairings: Brasato al Barolo (Braised Chuck Roast), Mushroom and White Truffle Risotto, Rosemary Prime Rib, Aged Parmigiano-Reggiano.
