Barolo 'Ludo' Luigi Einaudi 2020

The Barolo Ludo wine is a product with a bright future, capable of aging for a long, very long time, if well preserved in the cellar, thanks to the work done by the team at the Luigi Einaudi winery, which is very careful in selecting the Nebbiolo grapes from which this label is made, produced only in a few thousand bottles. A bottle therefore for true enthusiasts, which manages to combine body and softness, captivating the nose and palate from the very first moments.

This Barolo Ludo is made from pure grapes of a great red-skinned Piedmontese grape variety, Nebbiolo. The Luigi Einaudi winery carefully selects the grapes of this variety from the vineyards of Terlo, Cannubi, and Bussia, to ensure only the best result in the glass. The grapes, once harvested during the harvest, are vinified in steel, with a controlled temperature ranging between 30 and 32 degrees, also undergoing malolactic fermentation. It then moves on to the aging phase, where the wine rests both in large barrels and in barriques for 30 months, after which the product is ready to be bottled. Once in glass, the wine matures further for another six months before being released on the market.

The Ludo is a Barolo that, in the glass, takes on a ruby red color, crossed by slight garnet flashes at the rim. The bouquet of aromas that develops on the nose presents notes of jammy fruit, alternating with more floral and spicy sensations. On the palate, it has excellent body, powerful and elegant at the same time, with a vigorous sip characterized by a pleasant freshness; it finishes with a persistent finale, marked by a spicy aftertaste. A bottle signed by Luigi Einaudi of great depth, which deserves gastronomic pairings in the kitchen that can enhance its virtues: try it with game, you won't regret it.
