WINE DESCRIPTION

The wine is made from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the Barolo appellation, 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 extended maceration and aging in oak barrels, resulting in a complex and elegant wine with notes of red fruit, spices, and earthy undertones. Mirafiore Barolo is a classic representation of the Barolo style, with firm tannins and a long finish, making it a perfect choice for aging and pairing with hearty dishes.
