Wines Barolo Terradavino - 2010

Terradavino Barolo 2010 is a classic expression of Piedmontese viticulture, crafted entirely from the Nebbiolo grape, which is renowned for its complexity and ageability. The 2010 vintage in Barolo was outstanding, marked by a long and cool growing season that favored slow and balanced grape maturation. This wine is the result of meticulous vinification, with extended maceration and aging in large oak casks, allowing the powerful Nebbiolo tannins to soften and integrate gracefully. The wine greets you with a deep garnet color and a complex bouquet where aromas of dried roses, tar, truffle, and red berries are prominent. On the palate, it is structured yet elegant, with layers of cherry, licorice, and earthy undertones, culminating in a persistent, nuanced finish.

Barolo hails from the Langhe hills in the Piedmont region, an area steeped in viticultural history. The region benefits from a continental climate with notable diurnal temperature variations, which help preserve the grape’s acidity and aromatic complexity. The soils, dominated by calcareous marl, impart finesse and minerality to the wines, while the gentle slopes and varied exposures create subtle differences even between neighboring vineyards. Barolo has long been considered one of Italy’s greatest wines, often referred to as “the wine of kings, the king of wines,” and is celebrated for its robust yet refined character.

For food pairings, Terradavino Barolo 2010 shines alongside rich and flavorful dishes. Traditional regional cuisine such as braised beef (brasato al Barolo), tajarin pasta with white truffle, or wild game like venison complement its depth and tannic structure beautifully. Mature cheeses, particularly Parmigiano Reggiano or aged Castelmagno, also make for excellent companions.

To fully appreciate its aromatic profile and softness, serve this Barolo at 17-18°C after decanting for at least an hour. This allows the wine to open up and reveal its full complexity. Enjoy it now, or cellar it further for an even more profound tasting experience.
