Arnaldo Rivera's Barolo Undicicomuni represents the most complete expression of the Barolo terroir, combining the characteristics of the 11 historic municipalities: Barolo, Castiglione Falletto, La Morra, Monforte d'Alba, Serralunga d'Alba, Novello, Verduno, Grinzane Cavour, Diano d'Alba, Cherasco, and Roddi.
A deep garnet red in color, it evolves slowly in the glass, revealing a unique aromatic complexity: hints of cherry, plum, rose, and violet intertwine with spicy notes of cinnamon, white pepper, and tobacco. On the palate, it stands out for its structure and balance, with soft yet present tannins, lively acidity, and a lingering finish that invites further tasting. This Barolo is suitable for special occasions and with richer dishes such as braised meats, roasts, game, and aged cheeses. Thanks to its longevity, it can be cellared for several years, developing further nuance and depth.
