WINE DESCRIPTION
Azelia Barolo is a premium wine produced by the renowned Azelia winery in the Piedmont region of Italy. This wine is made from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the Barolo appellation, which is known for its unique terroir and ideal growing conditions. The vineyards are situated on steep hillsides with varying exposures, allowing for a diverse range of flavors and aromas in the wine. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including long maceration and aging in oak barrels, resulting in a complex and elegant wine with notes of red fruit, spices, and earthy undertones. Azelia Barolo is a classic representation of the Barolo style, with a full body, high tannins, and a long finish.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Azelia Barolo is a bold and intense red wine, offering aromas of cherry, tobacco, licorice, and dried herbs.On the palate, an intense structure of tannins is balanced by bright red fruit flavors and a hint of dark chocolate. The finish is long and lingering, with a hint of spice. This is a wine that will reward those who cellar it and allow it to develop secondary flavors over time.
