The Regal Red of Piedmont: Barbaresco DOCG

The CARLIN DE PAOLO BARBARESCO RED is a benchmark expression of the Nebbiolo grape, hailing from the prestigious Barbaresco DOCG in Italy’s Piedmont region. Renowned for its elegance and depth, this wine offers a powerful yet refined profile, perfectly balancing structure with aromatic complexity. It is a must-have for any serious collector of fine Italian reds.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Deep garnet red, developing characteristic brick-orange nuances with age.
• Nose: Intensely aromatic, featuring layered notes of dried rose, ripe cherry, and blackcurrant, evolving into classic Nebbiolo hallmarks like licorice, tar, and earthy truffle.
• Palate: Full-bodied and structured, the palate boasts firm, yet beautifully integrated, fine-grained tannins. Vibrant acidity provides freshness and a backbone for exceptional aging. The finish is long, warm, and deeply flavorful.

Pairing & Service

This is a wine that benefits significantly from aeration. Decant for a minimum of two hours, or open the bottle well in advance. Serve at 64-68°F (18-20°C) alongside rich, deeply savory dishes.
