Barolo DOCG “Classic” 2020 | Cascina Adelaide
The essence of Barolo – powerful, refined, and deeply rooted in tradition
Barolo is rightfully called the “king of wines” – a noble ruler who has conquered the world with elegance and uniqueness. In the cellar, this sovereign reveals its true form: a wine that unites tradition, complexity, and finesse in perfect harmony.
Origin & Grapes
Produced from 100% Nebbiolo, sourced from selected vineyards in the municipalities of Barolo and La Morra. The soils are Tortonian, rich in clay and limestone. Vines are trained Guyot-style with an average density of 5,000 plants per hectare. Yields are limited to about 1.5 kg per vine through careful cluster thinning.
Classification
Barolo DOCG
Vinification
Hand-harvested grapes are collected in small 20 kg crates and rigorously selected. Pressing takes place within a few hours after harvest. Fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts at controlled temperature (approx. 32 °C) with repeated, delicate remontages. Skin maceration lasts on average 300 hours, after which the wine is transferred to oak, where spontaneous malolactic fermentation takes place.
Aging
24 months in oak, followed by 6 months of bottle aging for balance and refinement.
