Barolo DOCG “4 Vigne” 2020 | Cascina Adelaide
The king of wines – elegant, unique, and deeply rooted in its land
Barolo is often called the “king of wines” – a noble sovereign who has conquered the world with elegance and uniqueness. A gentle ruler who speaks to the heart, deeply connected to tradition. Its true kingdom is the cellar, where it takes shape into a wine that combines power and refinement.
Origin & Grapes
Made from 100% Nebbiolo, sourced from four different crus in the municipalities of Barolo and La Morra. The soils are mainly Tortonian, rich in limestone and clay. Vines are trained in Guyot style with an average density of 5,000 plants per hectare. Yields are limited to about 1.5 kg per vine to ensure concentration and quality.
Classification
Barolo DOCG
Vinification
The grapes are hand-harvested in 20 kg crates and carefully selected. After a short resting period of about 8 hours in the fruttaio, where ventilation reduces grape humidity, the grapes undergo a gentle pressing with no stems included. Fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts at controlled temperatures (~28 °C), with repeated and delicate remontages. Skin maceration lasts on average 300 hours, after which the wine is transferred to oak for spontaneous malolactic fermentation.
Aging
24 months in oak, followed by several months of bottle aging, enhancing depth and complexity.
