Cascina GalarinBarolo del Comune di Monforte d'Alba 2020

About this wine

If you're looking for a wine that embodies the power and elegance of Piedmont's most celebrated terroir, this Barolo from Cascina Galarin is an excellent choice. The 2020 vintage from Monforte d'Alba showcases the purest expression of Nebbiolo, one of Italy's most noble grapes, grown on some of the finest hillsides in the region.

On the nose, expect intense aromas of red cherries, dried roses, and a hint of tar and liquorice. The palate reveals firm tannins and bright acidity, with flavors of ripe strawberries, earthy notes, and subtle spice that lead to a long, persistent finish. This is a structured wine with great aging potential, though it's already showing beautiful complexity.

Decant this Barolo for at least an hour before serving at 16-18°C to let it breathe and reveal its full character. It pairs beautifully with rich dishes like braised beef, truffle risotto, or aged Parmigiano-Reggiano. For a true Piedmontese experience, serve it alongside tajarin pasta with butter and white truffles or a slow-cooked brasato al Barolo.
