Comm. G.B. Burlotto COMM. G.B. BURLOTTO BAROLO Acclivi 2017

Description

The Barolo Acclivi by G.B. Burlotto is the result of Verduno vineyards. A distinctive sign of the winery and a wine that will show all its splendor even after twenty years. Soft red fruits, rich and complex on the nose. It is both elegant and focused, warm and accessible. A wine that captures the full spectrum of complexity that Nebbiolo grapes do.

This historic estate located in the municipality of Verduno in the Barolo DOCG, was founded by Giovan Battista Burlotto, the Commendatore, in the mid-18th century, during which he obtained the illustrious title of “Supplier of the Royal House of Savoy”, and “L ‘ sole supplier of the Arctic expedition of the Duke of Abruzzo to the North Pole “. Burlotto distinguished himself by introducing the practice of selling bottled wine with the name of his estate (in the manner of the French castles) at a time when in the Langa it was common practice to sell wine in cask.

Most of the estate’s vineyards are located in the municipality of Verduno, where there is also the famous cru Monvigliero, which is known for its position entirely to the south and the white marl soil.

The estate remains the property of the family and is currently under the direction of Burlotto’s great-granddaughter, Mariana Burlotto, and her husband, Giuseppe Alessandria.
