✨ Technical Specifications
Barolo, produced in the Langhe hills of Piemonte, is one of Italy's most celebrated red wines, crafted entirely from Nebbiolo grapes. Known for its pale garnet color and complex aromatics, the wine undergoes mandatory aging of at least 38 months (with a minimum of 18 months in oak or chestnut wood). The Tortonian calcareous marl and Serravallian sandstone soils, combined with cool autumn fog, yield wines of immense tannic structure and piercing acidity. Cantina Medaina offers a classic expression of this historic DOCG denomination.
