AZELIA BAROLO DOCG12 750 ml

Description

Discover the Azelia Barolo DOCG 2019, a standout red wine from Italy's Piedmont region, where the Scavino family has nurtured their craft at Azienda Agricola Azelia since 1920. Today, Luigi Scavino and his son Lorenzo carry forward this fifth-generation legacy, channeling their passion into Nebbiolo wines that capture the essence of Castiglione Falletto and Serralunga d'Alba vineyards.

Each bottle draws from a select blend of 100% Nebbiolo grapes across seven prized sites: Altenasso, Solanotto, Cerretta, Bricco Voghera, San Rocco, Cerrati, and Broglio. This thoughtful combination yields a wine that embodies the distinct personalities of these plots, offering a harmonious expression rooted in Barolo's storied terroir.

Pour it into your glass to reveal a deep garnet color that hints at its robust nature. The bouquet unfolds with layers of cherry and strawberry intertwined with floral whispers and subtle licorice alongside blue flowers. Sipping brings a mid-weight vibrancy, alive with depth and the refined elegance typical of great Nebbiolo. Fine tannins provide gentle support, paired with acidity that keeps everything balanced, culminating in a finish that lingers memorably.

At 14.50% ABV and in a standard 750 ml bottle, this dry wine (sweetness level 01) suits those evenings when you crave something substantial yet graceful. Picture it alongside osso buco, where the meat's tenderness meets the wine's structure, or with braised beef short ribs that echo its hearty profile. Even wild mushroom risotto finds a perfect match, as the nuanced layers elevate every bite into something special.

Whether you're building your collection or seeking a reliable crowd-pleaser for dinner parties, Azelia Barolo DOCG 2019 delivers the authenticity of Piedmont's Barolo tradition. From family hands to your table, it's a choice that promises satisfaction with every pour, priced at $67.45 for undeniable value in Nebbiolo excellence.
