Known as the «king of wines and wine of kings», Barolo is the Nebbiolo-based wine par excellence. Priore is an energetic and prestigious Barolo. The color is an intense garnet red, while the elegant bouquet balances the powerful tannins and brisk acidity of the palate. It showcases notes of violet, cassis, wild rose, cinnamon, anise, leather, and goudron. You can also find reminiscences of the Langhe region, such as truffles, dried mushrooms, and hazelnuts. The palate is warm, dry, earthy, and full.
Pair with stew, wild game, beef cheek braised in Barolo, blue cheese like Castelmagno, hard cheese like Toma, truffle tagliatelle, roasted duck.

This Barolo is a warm day walking through a forest, discovering the last of the ripe cherries hanging on the tree. The aroma of these lush cherries is complemented by a delightful contrast of floral notes and fresh green herbal scents. When you take a sip, the palate mirrors the nose to perfection, with those ripe cherries flavors dancing with herbs on the tongue. Savoring the wine, more herbal notes emerge on the finish, accompanied by tannins that sneak up on you, providing a subtle yet firm structure to the wine.
