Piazzo Barolo Valente
The History
Valente was the name of the previous owner of the vineyards where we now grow our Nebbiolo for Barolo wine. An investment made by Armando before DOCG was recognized, envisioning a future in which Barolo would acquire the fame and awards we are now used to. It is also curious that Valente means virtuous, as only a Barolo can be, and also skilled, as Armando effectively was in sniffing profitable investments with a far-sighted vision.
The Grape
100% Nebiollo
Tasting Note
Ruby red with garnet highlights. Red berry jam, nuts and cherries in alcohol, with spicy notes of cinnamon, vanilla, and tar. Warm and dry, with good structure, slinky tannins and a long aromatic finish. A mineral undercurrent on the aftertaste.
