Tar & Roses Local Hero Barolo 2019
This elegant red wine displays a claret hue with delicate crimson tinges around the edges, hinting at its vibrancy and depth. The aroma is strikingly powerful and expressive, revealing lifted notes of Campari, orange peel, and new leather, complemented by hints of fresh tobacco, dried rose petals, and rich, ripe black cherries.
On the palate, the wine delivers bold, mouth-filling tannins that offer both structure and a generous layering of sweet dark fruit. Flavours of subtle earth, spice, and dark cherry evolve across the palate, leading to a long, lingering finish that is firm and dry.
The vinification process begins with handpicking the fruit into crates, which are then transported to the winery in tractor trailers. Once at the winery, the grapes are crushed and destemmed, and depending on the cru, fermentation takes place in either 10hl concrete fermenters or smaller stainless steel tanks. During the active fermentation phase, the must is pumped over twice daily and closely monitored for temperature and baumé. At least one délestage is performed to further enhance extraction. After fermentation, the wine remains on skins for an extended maceration of approximately 30 days before being pressed to tank. Following malolactic fermentation, the wine is racked off gross lees and transferred to larger-format, seasoned oak casks for maturation. The final blend showcases a refined balance of fruit and oak, resulting in a wine of depth, elegance, and structure.
