Each bottle carries a sense of the characters, environment and traditions that brought it to life, inspiring a cult-like following among wine lovers and connoisseurs worldwide. \u003cb\u003eIl Poeta Barolo del Comune di Barolo\u003c\/b\u003e is a brilliant example, with dark fruit, integrated tannins and the structure to stand the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, Il Poeta isn’t just \u003ci\u003eany\u003c\/i\u003e Barolo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e While most come from the same 10 villages set within the larger Barolo region, \u003cb\u003ethis one hails from the celebrated hilltop village of Barolo itself\u003c\/b\u003e (hence the “Barolo del Comune di Barolo” classification). It comes courtesy of legendary local grower—and nationally recognized poet—Natale Seghesio, who composes a new poem for every growing season and incorporates it into the wine label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorking with Natale’s premium fruit, renowned winemaker Paolo Sartirano takes over in the cellar. His team sorts the grapes by hand to ensure only the best make the cut. And after careful fermentation, he ages the wine extensively: first, \u003cb\u003e18 months in Slavonian oak casks\u003c\/b\u003e, then a further 20 months in bottle before release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is complex yet ethereal, displaying ripe blackberry, currant and cherry flavors, supported by delicate spice and balsamic notes. Given its tannins and balanced acidity, it would surely age well for at least a decade. \u003cb\u003eWe recommend you decant before serving to fully unleash its aromas and flavors\u003c\/b\u003e, then sip it alongside Piedmont’s classic black truffle risotto or with roasted red meats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStocks are \u003ci\u003eextremely\u003c\/i\u003e limited, so act soon if you’d like some.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lionstone International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53510196134197,"sku":"4034120","price":27.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.lionstone.com\/products\/il-poeta-barolo-del-comune-di-barolo-2020","provider":"Lionstone International","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
