This 2012 Barolo Pie Rupestris is best served at 16-18°C (60-64°F). We recommend decanting it for 1-2 hours to allow its complex aromas to fully develop. It is currently entering its prime drinking window and can be enjoyed now, or cellared for another 10-15+ years.

This Barolo is a full-bodied, powerful red wine with firm tannins and high acidity, characteristic of Nebbiolo. It offers complex notes of red cherry, rose, tar, and licorice. It pairs exceptionally well with rich, savory Asian dishes such as Peking duck, Korean BBQ, braised beef with star anise, or strong mushroom-based dishes.

This bottle is in excellent condition with a perfect label (score 10), an ideal in-neck fill level (score 10), and an intact capsule (score 10). For optimal home storage, keep the bottle horizontally in a cool, dark place with a consistent temperature between 12-15°C (54-59°F) and 60-70% humidity, away from vibrations and strong odors.
