WINE DESCRIPTION
Boasso's Gabutti Barolo is a refined and powerful expression of Nebbiolo, crafted from select grapes grown within the esteemed Gabutti vineyard. Situated 350 meters above sea level with optimal west-southwest exposure, this vineyard benefits from a highly calcareous soil and ample sunlight, resulting in low-yield, intensely characterful fruit. Traditional winemaking methods, including a 15-day fermentation with submerged cap maceration, are followed by a 36-month aging period in large oak barrels, enhancing the wine's structure and elegance. With a limited production of less than 4000 bottles, this Barolo reflects Boasso’s dedication to quality and terroir.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

It presents a combination of red cherry, plum, and raspberry, intertwined with savory elements of licorice, dried herbs, and balsamic. The wine's extended aging in oak barrels contributes to its velvety texture and adds subtle nuances of vanilla and spice.
