La Trava Barolo 2020

La Trava Barolo 2020 is a classic expression of Nebbiolo from Piedmont, shaped by the structured elegance and aromatic complexity that define Barolo. The 2020 vintage delivers a balance of youthful intensity and refined architecture, reflecting careful vineyard selection and traditional winemaking aimed at expressing terroir with clarity and longevity.

Appearance:
Brilliant garnet with a translucent ruby core, typical of Nebbiolo, showing both depth and delicacy.

Aroma:
Complex and layered, with aromas of dried rose petals, red cherry, and wild strawberry. Subtle notes of orange peel, tar, liquorice, and crushed herbs emerge with aeration, along with a distinctive earthy minerality.

Taste:
Structured and precise, with firm yet refined tannins framing flavours of sour cherry, raspberry, and cranberry. The palate is vibrant and linear, with high natural acidity providing energy and lift. Hints of spice, leather, and savoury earth develop as the wine opens.

Finish:
Long and elegant, with persistent red fruit, floral notes, and a firm mineral backbone. The tannins remain present but polished, suggesting excellent ageing potential.

Food Pairing:
Ideal with braised beef, truffle dishes, game meats, mushroom-based pasta, and aged hard cheeses. Also pairs beautifully with rich Piedmontese cuisine.
