Vinification
The grapes undergo a soft crushing and destemming leading to a clear must. This must ferments in steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 26°C and macerates for 20-25 days. After racking, the wine undergoes a lengthy maturation in oak barrels, which is continued with a lengthy bottle-ageing. Bottle-ageing confers the wine’s final character, at which time the wine is sent to market and from there to consumer tables.

2015 Elio Filippino Barolo Riserva - 92 PTS - JD

jeb dunnuck logo 250"Ripe Bing cherries, leather, savory Mediterranean herbs, sandalwood, and licorice are just some of the nuances in the 2015 Barolo Riserva, which is medium-bodied and has a supple, layered mouthfeel, elevated volatile acidity, and fine, nicely integrated tannins. It's a classic, expressive, complex, balanced Barolo that has tons of character and will evolve for another 10-12 years."
