Enrico VI Barolo DOCG

A classic Barolo from one of the most renowned single vineyards in Piedmont — structured, profound, and with the typical aging potential that defines Castiglione Falletto.

Cordero di Montezemolo has been managing sites in Castiglione Falletto, one of the five core towns of the Barolo zone, for generations. The Enrico VI comes from the single vineyard of the same name — named after King Henry VI — and is considered one of the most characterful wines of the house. The soils here consist of calcareous sandstone (Helvetian), which provides more delicate tannins and a bit more elegance than the heavy Tortonian soils further west.

On the nose, pickled cherry, blackberry, and plum appear, underscored by eucalyptus, licorice, and cinnamon. Plus a hint of violet and dried herbs. On the palate, powerful, with taut acidity and ripe tannin — the finish is long and spicy.

With air or after further cellar aging, it shows its best side. Serving temperature 17–18 °C. Decanting recommended.
Pairs well with: Brasato al Barolo, leg of lamb with rosemary, mature Parmigiano Reggiano, or dark bitter chocolate.
