Barolo Vs Barbaresco
|
Both zones produce red wines from the Nebbiolo grape; Barolo wines are typically more powerful and long-lived, whereas Barbaresco is slightly softer and regarded as Barolo’s more feminine counterpart, although many individual examples contradict this generalization. The aromas of tar, truffle, rose petals, and dried fruits are classically attributed to both wines, and their color is characteristically moderate in concentration and orange-tinged even in youth.
|
|
|
Tortonians soils Vs Helvetian soils
|
Tortonian soils, which contain a higher proportion of calcareous marl, characterize the vineyards of La Morra and Barolo and provide a softer style of wine. Helvetian sandstone soils are more common in Monforte d’Alba and Serralunga d’Alba, and supply more structure in the wine
