Azelia Barolo Riserva Bricco Voghera

Bricco Voghera is the estate's Barolo Riserva, made from a 0.85-hectare vineyard in Serralunga d'Alba where the Nebbiolo vines are now more than 95 years old. Azelia releases this Riserva only in excellent vintages, after it has rested in the cellar for ten years. The grapes ferment with indigenous yeasts for 35 to 40 days with a submerged cap, then the wine ages five years in large casks and five more in bottle. Expect black cherry, prune and blackberry, with rose, violet and dark chocolate, great concentration and round, generous tannins with a very long finish. Pair with braised beef, game or aged hard cheese, and open it well ahead of serving. Briffa Wine Selections brings this Barolo to Malta, with delivery across the island.
