Boasso Barolo Gabutti 2018

A rich Nebbiolo from one of Barolo’s most delicious crus where the fruit is picked, pressed and fermented before aging in new oak for three years. This is a wine that is never filtered and is left to age further in bottle before release where the flavors have time to harmonize. Boasso is a smaller producer and this wine offers a great value in Barolo that will develop more complexity with age.

Made from 100% Nebbiolo (Michet clone) grown in the Serralunga d’Alba municipality, within the prestigious Gabutti cru. The vineyard spans about 5,400 square meters with 15-year-old vines planted on calcareous soils and trained using Guyot pruning. Grapes are harvested entirely by hand in October and undergo temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel with extended maceration, followed by aging in oak for a total of 36 months. With an alcohol level of 14.5%, this is a structured and age-worthy Barolo, produced in a limited quantity of just 3,900 bottles. Best enjoyed at 64–68°F, it pairs beautifully with stewed and roasted meats, game, truffle dishes, and aged cheeses, and can be cellared for decades under proper conditions.
