Description
This lovely Barolo demonstrates the delicacy and finesse that Nebbiolo, in spite of its famously assertive tannins, can show in a particular vintage. The hand of the winemaker is, of course, a factor as well, and across the range, Bovio's Baroli show more elegance than brute force. The 2022 La Morra bottling would be a fine alternative to a Pinot Noir from Burgundy or the new world. Soft crushing of the grapes, fermentation with indigenous yeasts for about 15 days in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, during which pumping over is carried out at regular intervals to ensure optimal extraction of the color and tannins contained in the grape skins. This was followed by racking and malolactic fermentation. The wine was then racked into oak barrels, where it aged for 18 to 24 months; it was then racked into concrete tanks, where it rested for a few months before being bottled.
