San Silvestro Barolo ‘Patres’
Wine: ‘Patres’ Barolo
Producer: San Silvestro
Country: Italy
Region: Piedmont / Barolo
Vintage: 2017
Style: Red
Blend: Nebbiolo 100%
ABV: 14.5%
Size: 75cl
Vegan
Notes: A stylish Barolo, with expressive aromas of dried fruit, roses & tar. The deep fruits are layered with minerality on the smooth & mouth-filling palate & sweet tannins weave through to a very long, elegant finish. A more immediately approachable style of Barolo than some.
The wine was aged for three years: two of which were spent in large Slavonian oak casks & one year in tank, followed by a further six months in bottle, prior to release.
The name ‘Nebbiolo’ comes from one of two schools of thought: some believe as the harvest of Nebbiolo usually occurs in October, when foggy weather is common, it takes the name from ‘nebbia’ meaning ‘fog’; however others believe the name is derived from the presence of ‘pruina’, a substance which gives the appearance of a foggy haze on the berry’s skin. The Nebbiolo vines are grown in the northern Italian region of Piedmont, where the climate is continental & is tempered by the Tanaro River & its tributaries. Grown in marl clay & sand soils, the late ripening variety is usually harvested in early October.
Producer Info: San Silvestro is located in the territory of the Commune of Novello. The grapes are mostly grown in the Langhe & from vineyards found in the Roero & the Monferrato regions. San Silvestro represents the continuation of a project begun by Giovanni Sartirano which has been passed down through four generations. Today it is run by cousins Paolo & Guido Sartirano & San Silvestro has gradually expanded beyond the local market & their wines can be found around the world.
