AROMA:
The bouquet of Erbaluna Barolo Arborina has intense of ripe red fruit, plums, cherries and blackberries with Mediterranean nuances of licorice flower and anise. Ethereal with spicy notes of cloves, blond tobacco and leather.
COLOUR:
Deep ruby red, tending to orange.
TASTE:
The tannin is persistent but fine, well integrated with the structure and richness of the fruit. Mixed soil of limestone, clay and very fine sand, it faces south-east and is punctually windy in the late morning. 20 to 25 years in the dark and at a temperature of 13-15 C° to allow the tannins to mature perfectly, depending on the vintage.
The small quantity produced led us to an aging in barrique in contrast to our usual settings. The dutiful and punctual monitoring that followed allowed us to appreciate first of all the benefit of a faster micro- transpiration effective in attenuating the initial rough of this unquestionably fruity and fresh Barolo.
FOOD COMBINATION:
It lends itself well to roast, braised meats and mature cheeses.
