Cantine Povero Barolo
A small Barolo allocation, hand picked in Commack.
The story behind Cantine Povero
Barolo is the great red of Italy's Piedmont, made entirely from Nebbiolo grown on the rolling hills around the town of Barolo. The grape gives a pale garnet wine with firm tannin, bright acidity and aromas of rose, tar, dried cherry and orange peel. By law it ages at least 38 months before release, so it arrives structured and ready to drink, though it will keep improving in the cellar.
We stock Cantine Povero Barolo here in Commack in a very small quantity, one or two bottles at a time.
