Barolo Serralunga DOCG 2006 - Gabutti

February 11, 2012

The Gabutti Boasso wine farm of Serralunga d’Alba (Cuneo), since the 70s vinifies the best piedmontese wines such as Barolo Serralunga D.o.c.g. 2006, following those simple and good traditions handed down over time.

Known all over the world as the “king of wines”, the Barolo is famous for its complexity of aromas, the very good structure and its typical longevity which allows the improvement  through years (until reaching 20/30 years).

Vinified with Nebbiolo grapes in purity, it is aged three years in Slavonia barrels and refined six months in bottles.

Tasting notes 

Let the wine breathe in the decanter for at least 2-3 hours before the tasting in order to allow the escape of aromas and the deposit of any remains.

It is red ruby intense in colour with garnet nuances and runs thick in the glass, showing those archs (tears), due to the alcohol level.

The bouquet is clean and very fruity (blueberries and blackberries) and slightly spiced (black pepper, cocoa and leather). It presents mineral and grassy hints at the end.

Full bodied and warm in taste (14 degrees), it is dry and very persistent with a strong sapid note which, raising the salivation, get a right balance with the tannic component (it makes it astringent, on the contrary).

It is perfect when combined with rich and tasty plates of red meat or game in general like roasts, wild boar with polenta, boiled and stews. Good as a sipping wine or served with well aged cheese and cold cuts.

Enjoy it!

Joe, torinese D.o.c., annata 1981, si appassiona fin da giovanissima alle gioie del palato scoprendo, grazie ai nonni, il buon vino e la cucina della sua terra. Amante della buona compagnia, preferisce coltivare ed intrattenere i suoi affetti intorno ad una tavola sostanziosa, che sia quella della piola o dell'osteria più raffinata oppure, meglio ancora, se di casa propria. Si diletta volentieri in cucina, sperimentando sempre nuovi e originali accostamenti enogastronomici. Nel 2006, data la profonda passione per la Vitis Vinifera e la sua linfa, decide di diventare un Sommelier presso l'Associazione F.i.s.a.r., in parole povere, beve e studia per quasi due anni fino al conseguimento del diploma finale, ottenuto fieramente in seguito a lunghe ed estenuanti degustazioni. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joe is from Turin, Italy. She started loving good wine and food since she was very young, discovering the joys of the palate, thanks to her grandparents. She has always liked entertaining friends and her loved ones around a well stocked table, full of delicious dishes. She is pretty happy in the kitchen as she likes trying new and original eno-gastonomical pairings. In 2006, due to her deep love for wines, she became a Sommelier (wine taster) with the "F.i.s.a.r". association. In short, she studied hard and drank wines for two years in a row until she got the final diploma, obtained after long and exhausting tastings.
