Vite Colte La Casa in Collina - Barbaresco - Red - 2021 :

 

Discovering the Elegance of Barbaresco DOCG

The Barbaresco “La Casa In Collina” Red by Vite Colte captures the sophisticated spirit of Piedmont's Nebbiolo. While often living in the shadow of Barolo, Barbaresco offers a character of its own-a slightly more approachable elegance with impressive complexity. This bottling, a blend from different microclimate areas, is a testament to traditional winemaking, aged in large oak casks to soften its renowned tannins while preserving its vibrant fruit and tertiary depth. A truly luxurious Italian red for the discerning collector.

The Sommelier's Tasting Profile

• Appearance: Deep ruby with a tendency to shade towards garnet at the rim.
• Bouquet: An intense and layered bouquet of withered flowers, sour cherries, and ripe red plum, backed by classic Nebbiolo notes of tobacco leaf and subtle earthy dust.
• Taste: Medium to full-bodied, generous, and finely structured. The palate benefits from a lithe backbone of well-managed tannins and a bright acidity, leading to a satisfyingly long and soft finish.
• Key Flavours: Cherry, Plum, Vanilla, Tobacco, Rose Petals.

Food Pairing & Decanting

A wine of this calibre deserves a Sunday roast or a rich pasta dish. Decanting is highly recommended-allow two hours for the wine to fully breathe before serving at cellar temperature (18°C).

• Pairings: Rich Duck Ragù, Traditional Roast Beef with all the trimmings, Game Pie, and hard, mature cheeses.
