Winery: Château de Conlais Grape variety: Nebbiolo Appellation: Piedmont Packing: 750ml/6 Grade: DOCG Alcohol content: 14.0% Vol Vinification process: The grapes are hand-picked, destemmed and crushed, and macerated on the skins at about 30°C for 12-15 days; malolactic fermentation is completed before winter, followed by aging in oak barrels for 24-28 months. Taste description: Deep ruby red in color, with a complex and vibrant nose, lightly spiced followed by floral notes, mixed with red berries and tar; full-bodied, with a powerful structure and soft tannins, full of wild fruits and licorice flavors. This is a traditional and powerful Nebbiolo, a symphony of balance and complexity that will age well! Wine Pairing: Barolo can be served with red meats, but it also goes well with very rich fish or specialty flavored cheeses. Robert Parker 96 points
