Meet the winemaker - Cagliero
The 2020 Cagliero Barolo DOCG Terlo is a remarkable expression of the Nebbiolo grape, hailing from the prestigious Barolo region in Piedmont, Italy. This vintage showcases a deep garnet color, indicative of its maturity and complexity.
On the nose, it offers an enticing bouquet of dark cherries, ripe plums, and dried roses, intertwined with earthy notes of truffle and a hint of spice. As it opens up, subtle hints of leather and tobacco emerge, adding to its aromatic depth.
On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and well-structured, featuring firm yet velvety tannins that provide a solid backbone. The flavors mirror the nose, with rich fruit notes complemented by nuances of licorice and a touch of minerality. The acidity is well-balanced, contributing to a long and elegant finish.
This Barolo is a true reflection of its terroir, showcasing the unique characteristics of the Terlo vineyard. It pairs beautifully with hearty dishes such as braised meats, truffle risotto, or aged cheeses. While it can be enjoyed now, this wine has excellent aging potential, promising to evolve beautifully over the next decade or more.
