It is made from 100% \u003cstrong\u003eNebbiolo\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes, a varietal that gives life to wines of extraordinary structure and longevity. This Magnum version further enhances its aging potential and aromatic evolution over time.\nThe result is an intense, complex, and profound wine, with an elegant body and great balance, designed for those who love true emotions in a glass.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage details\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe \u003cstrong\u003e2017\u003c\/strong\u003e vintage in Langa was characterized by warm and dry climatic conditions, which led to a uniform ripening of the grapes and a slightly below-average yield. This favored the aromatic and tannic concentration of Nebbiolo, resulting in a Barolo with rich aromas and a remarkably intense palate. The result is a powerful yet harmonious Riserva, capable of combining elegance and solidity.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVinification and aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\nAfter manual harvesting of the grapes, fermentation takes place in steel tanks with prolonged maceration on the skins, necessary to extract color, tannins, and aromatic complexity. The wine is then transferred to \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barriques\u003c\/strong\u003e, about 80% of which are new, where it ages for several years. This period in wood contributes to softening the tannins and giving the wine roundness and depth. After bottling, the Riserva rests further in the cellar before commercialization, to complete its evolution.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\nIn the glass, it presents a \u003cstrong\u003edeep garnet red\u003c\/strong\u003e with slight orange reflections typical of aged Nebbiolo. Its clarity and brilliance testify to the care with which it was produced.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAroma\u003c\/h3\u003e\nOn the nose, it reveals a complex and refined bouquet, where notes of ripe cherry, withered rose, and sweet spices emerge. With aeration, nuances of tobacco, licorice, and balsamic hints are perceived, a sign of a long evolution in quality wood.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTaste\u003c\/h3\u003e\nOn the palate, the \u003cstrong\u003eBarolo Riserva DOCG 2017 Magnum - Giovanni Corino\u003c\/strong\u003e is full-bodied, structured, and perfectly balanced.
