Barolo SCARRONE DOCG BAVA

Cantina Bava’s Barolo Scarrone DOCG is produced exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the Scarrone cru, in the municipality of Castiglione Falletto, in the heart of the Langhe. The vineyards are situated on clay-limestone soils rich in marl and sand, ideal for producing elegant, long-lived wines. After harvesting, the perfectly ripe grapes are vinified in large wooden vats. Fermentation is accompanied by a long maceration on the skins, with manual pumping over and punching down to extract colour, aromas and structure. Once alcoholic fermentation is complete, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and is subsequently racked several times to clarify. This is followed by a long ageing period of around 30 months in wood (barrels and/or barriques), allowing the wine to develop complexity and balance.

Characteristics of this Barolo DOCG

It has an intense garnet-red colour typical of Barolo, with orange-tinged highlights. The bouquet is broad and complex, with floral hints of rose and violet, notes of tobacco and nuances that emerge with ageing. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with substantial yet well-integrated tannins. Persistent and elegant.

Recommended pairings for this Piedmont red wine

Excellent with particularly structured and flavourful dishes such as roasts, grilled meats, braised dishes and stews. Also worth trying with game and mature cheeses. Serve at a temperature of 16–18°C.
