Vite Colte Barolo Essenze Riserva 2015

Vite Colte Barolo Essenze Riserva 2015 is a distinctive Barolo that reflects the power, finesse, and long aging potential of Nebbiolo from Piedmont. As a Riserva, it shows the depth and structure expected from one of Italy’s most celebrated wine appellations, while offering the elegance and complexity that make Barolo such a benchmark wine.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep garnet color with brick-red reflections beginning to emerge at the rim. The nose is layered and expressive, with aromas of dried roses, sour cherry, wild berries, licorice, tobacco, spice, and subtle earthy notes. On the palate, it is structured and refined, with firm but polished tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, savory finish. Flavors of red cherry, dried fruit, anise, leather, and mineral undertones unfold gradually, rewarding slow drinking and cellar time. The 2015 vintage has the balance and concentration to age gracefully for many years.

Production
Made from Nebbiolo grown in Piedmont’s Barolo zone, the wine benefits from the region’s calcareous marl soils and cool-climate conditions, which help preserve acidity and aromatic precision. The grapes are carefully harvested at optimal ripeness, then vinified with traditional attention to extraction and structure to highlight the variety’s natural complexity and the character of the site.

Food & Serving
This Barolo Riserva pairs beautifully with rich dishes such as braised beef, game, truffle risotto, slow-cooked lamb, and aged cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C and, given its structure and aromatic complexity, decanting for at least 1–2 hours is recommended to allow the wine to open fully.
