WINE DESCRIPTION

Covalli Barolo is a premium red wine produced by Covalli, a renowned winery located in the Piedmont region of Italy. The 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 grapes. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including extended maceration and aging in oak barrels, resulting in a full-bodied wine with complex flavors of dark fruit, spice, and earthy undertones. Covalli Barolo is a classic representation of the Barolo style, with a long and elegant finish that makes it a perfect pairing for hearty meat dishes and aged cheeses.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Covalli Barolo is a complex and powerful expression of Nebbiolo, featuring aromas of bright cherry, rose petal, earth, and a hint of tobacco.On the palate, it has a firm backbone of tannins, with flavors of ripe blackberry, raspberry, clove, and a hint of smoke. The finish is long and lingering, with notes of licorice and spice. Overall, a very enjoyable wine that will continue to develop with age.
