Barolo Scarrone DOCG - Bava Cellars
 
 
 The more mature the wine, the more it will be able to handle bold, distinctive flavors and sensations. Very ripe grapes are fermented in wooden vats specially constructed from oak trees from the Fontainebleau forests. This is followed by a long maceration with initial pumping over, followed by malolactic fermentation and then racking into the same fermentation vats, with a third of the wine being aged in barriques. This rich Barolo is born and aged exclusively in wood for a period of no less than 30 months.

 Tasting Notes: Ample and complex, endowed with great elegance, starting from a distinct garnet color and its aromas of tobacco, rose, and violet. Firm yet sweet tannins, characteristic of the Castiglione and Scarrone crus in particular.
 
 
 Pairings: Excellent with game dishes, both furred and feathered, roe deer stew, roast or pan-fried quail, and roast guinea fowl. It's also perfect with truffle-based dishes and pairs well with aged cheeses such as Castelmagno. The famous braised beef in Barolo is a must.
 
 
 Vineyard Training & Aging: Guyot-trained with white clay-limestone soils at an altitude of 300 meters above sea level. The vineyard is completely grassed with grasses, legumes, and brassicas, cultivated to provide organic matter and protect the slope from rainfall erosion. Along the rows and between the vines, grass growth is controlled without the use of any chemical weedkillers.
 
 
 The Winery: The Bava family's history begins in Cocconato, a village perched in the hills of the Monferrato area of Asti. The Bava family has been cultivating vineyards in this area since the 1600s. Today, the property extends into the Monferrato and Langhe regions, with vineyards and spontaneous woodlands cultivated with the same sensitivity as in the past, for sustainable agriculture with a reduced environmental impact. Driving past the Bava vineyards, you'll notice grass clippings and pruning residues used as natural fertilizer, wooden poles sourced from renewable forests, and grass cover between the rows, which prevents soil erosion and ensures the exclusion of herbicides. The three farms of Cocconato, Agliano, and Castiglione Falletto have been producing excellent and unique wines for generations. The wineries were founded in 1911 and have been pioneers in the use of barriques since 1975.
