Burlotto Barolo Acclivi 2009 DOCG 0.75l

Burlotto Barolo Acclivi 2009 DOCG 0.75l is a Barolo grown on the southeast-facing slopes of the Langhe, where the calcareous soil, enriched by layers of marl, imparts a mineral signature that accompanies long aging processes. Burlotto, a true voice of Piedmont, continues a tradition rooted in the Verduno area and the belief that wine quality depends on attention to detail, respect for the raw materials, and a patient understanding of nature. The production philosophy is based on manual harvesting, spontaneous fermentation, and controlled maceration, entrusted to large oak barrels that allow for modulation of the tannins and facilitate the integration of aromas. Acclivi is distinguished by an elegant texture, a pronounced minerality, and an ability to evolve in the glass: on the nose, black cherry, black cherry, dried violet, sweet spices, and a hint of graphite that recalls the terroir emerge. On the palate, it is complex yet balanced, with a structure that develops its power over time, tannins that are present yet smooth, acidity that supports the freshness, and a finish that leaves sensations of toasted leather and black pepper. Within the Burlotto range, Acclivi occupies a prominent position as the expression of a cru that combines character, elegance, and a sensitivity to the terroir that is not afraid of aging. This wine is designed for those who wish to invest in a bottle capable of maturing for decades, for collectors and enthusiasts seeking an authentic interpretation of Barolo without compromise. It pairs magnificently with succulent meat dishes, braised meats, game, and aged cheeses, offering the palate a complex narrative that develops as the temperature rises. Burlotto's work remains faithful to an experienced hand, with careful management of the maturation, aging, and bottling phases that preserve the purity of the fruit and the depth of the palate. Acclivi, even when compared to other wines from the winery, confirms its ability to tell a story of the territory through a restrained winemaking style, blending power and refinement. Ultimately, Burlotto Barolo Acclivi 2009 DOCG 0.75l presents itself as an authoritative voice of a winemaking heritage where tradition patiently meets modernity. With this wine, Burlotto adheres to its STELT positioning, offering authenticity, precision, and elegance that accompany the table and the passage of time.
