Piazzo Armando, Alba Piedmont, Italy

Piazzo Armando is an Italian historic winery at the heart of Langhe, run by the same family for three generations.

Barolo DOCG 

This Barolo is produced every year from grapes harvested on plots in the village of Novello. Their lush quality is encapsulated in a bold, compact, ruby red colour with garnet highlights tending to orange, heralding the wine’s great ageing potential in the bottle. Its intense, expansive bouquet shows jam, prunes and cherries in alcohol, along with the spicy aromas of cinnamon, vanilla and tar.

The roundness of its flavour shows in great structure and a long and warm aromatic finish, with intriguing tannins completely filling the mouth.  At its very best enjoyed with mains, such as braised red meat, and medium-aged and mature cheeses.

Vineyards: various, located on the hills of the village of Novello

Varietal composition: 100% Nebbiolo

Harvest period: mid-October

Vinification and ageing: crushing of the grapes, fermentation and maceration in steel. The wine evolves for at least 18 months, partly in big oak casks and partly in barriques. Several months follow in bottles stored horizontally in underground cellars.

Alcohol: 13.5-14%

Tasting Notes
Colour: ruby red with garnet highlights
Nose: red berry jam, nuts and cherries in alcohol, with spicy notes of cinnamon, vanilla and tar.
Taste: warm and dry, with good structure, slinky tannins and a long aromatic finish. A mineral undercurrent on the aftertaste.

Food pairings: structured red meats and medium-aged and mature cheeses.
