The vineyard is south-facing and located at an altitude of 300-320 meters, in a context favorable to the complete ripening of the grapes. The soil, a medium-textured calcareous tending to clay, helps define a tense and deep profile, while the manual harvest carried out in the second decade of October confirms the intention to pick the fruit at the right moment of balance. Fermentation in steel and subsequent aging in new French oak barriques complete a style of strong personality, rich yet measured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eBarolo Rüncot DOCG Riserva 2016\u003c\/strong\u003e presents the typical character of high-quality Nebbiolo: transparent yet intense color, complex and multifaceted aromas, with notes that may evoke small red fruits, wilted flowers, spices, and balsamic hints. On the palate, it shows structure, tension, and an important tannic texture, supported by a lively freshness that extends the sip. The finish is persistent, harmonious, and suitable for significant evolution in the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reserve Barolo shines with rich and flavorful dishes from Italian cuisine.
