The Gianni Gagliardo BAROLO FOSSATI DOCG is an exceptional single-vineyard expression of Nebbiolo, showcasing remarkable elegance and complexity. Hailing from the prestigious Fossati cru in La Morra, this wine is a testament to the aromatic and graceful style that this specific terroir can produce.
The Gagliardo family has been crafting wine in Piedmont for six generations, with Gianni Gagliardo elevating the estate’s focus on single-vineyard bottlings in the 1980s. Today, his sons continue the legacy, championing sustainable viticulture and a philosophy of minimal intervention to let each cru express its unique identity. This commitment has positioned Gianni Gagliardo as a highly respected producer of terroir-driven, elegant Barolo.
This Gianni Gagliardo BAROLO FOSSATI DOCG presents a classic garnet hue, revealing an intricate bouquet of dried rose petals, red cherry, licorice, and a hint of truffle. The palate is structured yet refined, with fine-grained tannins and bright acidity supporting flavors of raspberry, spice, and earthy minerals. It culminates in a long, persistent, and beautifully balanced finish.
For the optimal tasting experience, serve this Barolo at a temperature of 16-18°C (60-65°F) after allowing it to breathe. It pairs exquisitely with regional classics such as tajarin pasta with white truffles, braised red meats, game birds, and aged hard cheeses.
