The extra years of ageing have allowed its generous red fruit, violet, liquorice and savoury spice to settle into something more refined: graceful, layered and quietly powerful, with the tannins now softened into a long, elegant finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE GRAPE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e100% Nebbiolo from the hills of La Morra, where Eraldo Viberti has farmed the traditional Langhe varieties since 1960. The high-altitude vineyards and careful selection of fruit give this Riserva its balance of perfume, structure and longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE WINE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is Barolo with time on its side. The 2009 vintage opens with garnet colour and a deep, evolved nose of raspberry and blackberry liqueur, dried violet, sweet spice, leather, earth and a touch of tobacco. On the palate it is full but graceful, with supple fruit, savoury freshness and tannins that have softened into something beautifully refined. The Riserva’s long ageing and additional bottle evolution allow the wine to move beyond youthful power into something more layered, relaxed and quietly compelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFOOD PAIRING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrasato al Barolo, truffle tajarin, braised beef cheek, roasted game, porcini and mature Piemonte cheeses.

Eraldo's philosophy is beautifully straightforward: listen to each vintage, understand each vineyard and adjust fermentation and ageing accordingly. This Riserva is the patient side of that approach—a Barolo allowed the time to become itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eraldo Viberti","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57477093491063,"sku":null,"price":95.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0297\/7208\/7349\/files\/Viberti-barolo-riserva-2009.png?v=1789987629","url":"https:\/\/shop.passionevino.co.uk\/products\/eraldo-viberti-barolo-riserva-docg-2009","provider":"Passione Vino","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
