WINE DESCRIPTION
Paolo Manzone Barolo Meriame is made exclusively from the Nebbiolo grape, a variety that gives delicately perfumed wines that are highly structured with grippy tannins and racy acidity. The grapes come exclusively from very old vines in the steep Meriame vineyard, an underrated Barolo cru. Fermentation occurs in inert vessels, then the wine is matured for around 28 months in a combination of large Slavonian oak and smaller French oak barrels, before spending a period aging in bottle prior to release.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Paolo Manzone Barolo Meriame has a pale ruby appearance.The nose offers a captivating bouquet of red fruits, such as tart cherries and raspberries, intertwined with floral notes of violets and roses. These delicate aromas are complemented by hints of earthy truffles and spices, adding depth and intrigue to the overall profile. The palate of this Barolo is angular yet full-bodied, with grippy tannins that provide structure for the flavors of red berries, plums, and dried herbs to shine. The wine's long and persistent finish is framed by the muscular and grippy tannins
