A Feast for the Senses: Tasting Profile

• Colour: The Giribaldi Barbaresco greets the eye with a stunning ruby red hue, deepening towards garnet with age. This captivating colour hints at the richness and depth to come on the palate.
• Aroma: On the nose, a captivating symphony of aromas unfolds. Wild roses and violets mingle with hints of ripe red cherries and plums, offering a touch of floral elegance. As the wine opens up, deeper notes of spice, such as cinnamon and black pepper, emerge, adding an intriguing complexity. A subtle earthiness from the terroir provides a grounding counterpoint, creating a truly harmonious aromatic profile.
• Palate: The first sip of Giribaldi Barbaresco reveals a wine of remarkable structure and balance. The Nebbiolo grapes lend a characteristic elegance, with well-integrated tannins that provide a firm yet smooth structure. The fruit flavours come alive on the palate, mirroring the aromas with vibrant notes of red cherry, plum, and blackberry. Hints of liquorice and spice add further intrigue, while the underlying minerality adds a refreshing touch and extends the finish. This is a wine that lingers on the palate, leaving a lasting impression of its elegance and complexity.

Beyond the Bottle: Serving Suggestions and Food Pairings

To fully appreciate the beauty of Giribaldi Barbaresco, it's important to serve it at the optimal temperature. Aim for 18-20°C (64-68°F) to allow the full spectrum of aromas and flavours to blossom. Decanting for 30-60 minutes before serving can further enhance the experience by softening the tannins and allowing the wine to breathe.

Giribaldi Barbaresco is a versatile food pairing wine, capable of elevating a wide range of dishes. Here are some suggestions to create perfect culinary harmony:

• Red Meat: The robust tannins and bold fruit flavours of Giribaldi Barbaresco make it a natural companion for red meat dishes. Grilled steaks, roast lamb, and braised beef are all excellent choices. The wine's richness can stand up to the heartiness of the meat, while its acidity cuts through the fat, creating a beautifully balanced pairing.
• Game: The earthy character of Nebbiolo grapes makes Giribaldi Barbaresco a wonderful match for game dishes. Wild boar, venison, and duck all pair beautifully with this wine. The robust tannins can handle the gamy flavours of the meat, while the fruit characters complement the earthy notes.
• Aged Cheeses:  Giribaldi Barbaresco's complex flavour profile makes it a great partner for aged cheeses. Look for mature cheeses with bold flavours, such as aged cheddar, Gruyère, or Parmigiano-Reggiano. The wine's tannins can cut through the creaminess of the cheese, while the fruit characters complement the richness.
