Comm. G.B. Burlotto COMM. G.B. BURLOTTO BAROLO Acclivi 2018

Description

Comm. G.B. Burlotto Barolo Acclivi 2018 is the result of the Verduno vineyards. A hallmark of the cellar and a wine that will show all its splendor even after twenty years. Soft, rich and complex red fruits on the nose. It is both elegant and focused, warm and approachable. A wine that captures the full spectrum of complexity that the Nebbiolo grape has.

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 it obtained the illustrious title of “Supplier of the Royal House of Savoy”, and “The sole supplier of the Duke of Abruzzo’s Arctic expedition 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 French castles) at a time when it was the usual practice in the Langhe to sell wine in barrels.

Most of the estate’s vineyards are located in the commune of Verduno, where the famous Monvigliero cru is also found, which is known for its entirely south-facing location and white marl soil.

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