The Barolo del Comune di La Morra is an assemblage of Nebbiolo from five sites including the Ascheri, Motturone, and Paradiso vineyards, all on calcareous clay soils, hand-harvested and destemmed, fermented in stainless steel with 45 to 60 days of skin contact, and aged 24 months in a mix of Slavonian botti (60%), used French barriques (30%), and a touch of new French oak (10%), bottled unfined and unfiltered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2018 Barolo del Comune di La Morra is a structured, aromatic expression of one of the appellation's most perfumed communes. It opens with aromas of dried rose, dark cherry, and mountain herbs, lifted by notes of orange zest and iron. On the palate, it is firm and layered, with red fruit, tar, a streak of eucalyptus, and tannins that are present but polishing — still a wine in becoming, with a long, mineral finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePairing\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brasato al Barolo with soft polenta, a plate of tajarin with a slow ragù of beef and porcini, aged Castelmagno with honey and walnuts, or a Sunday dinner that started at noon and shows no signs of ending.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elliott Bay","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46088245444804,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/0350\/8676\/files\/DSCF2080-Ellena.png?v=1777349883","url":"https:\/\/offsetbottleshop.com\/products\/ellena-giuseppe-barolo-del-comune-di-la-mora-2018","provider":"Offset Bottle Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
