Barolo's Classico Collection

Barolo Classico is Barolo without a specific cru (vineyard name) designation on the label. Producers blend grapes from multiple villages or parcels within the Barolo DOCG area to create a signature style : recognizable, balanced, and often more accessible than single-vineyard (cru) bottlings.

Key points

• Origin : DOCG Barolo, 11 villages in the Langhe (including Barolo, La Morra, Monforte d'Alba, Serralunga d'Alba, Castiglione Falletto).

• Grape : 100% Nebbiolo.

• Maturation : minimum 38 months (including at least 18 months in wood). Riserva : 62 months total.

• Goal : a complete Barolo with a balance between power, elegance and drinkability.

Flavor profile (odors & flavors)

• Aroma : rose petals, tar, cherries, raspberries, dried herbs, anise, violets; with bottle aging: leather, tobacco, truffle.

• Palate : high acidity, firm yet refined tannins, red fruits, orange peel; long, dry finish.

• Texture : sleek yet intense; structure is key.

Tip : Barolo Classico often immediately reveals the estate's DNA. Look for styles that suit you: from floral and silky (e.g., more La Morra influence) to muscular and mineral (more Serralunga influence).
