Ascheri “Pisapola” Barolo DOCG 2019

The Ascheri "Pisapola" Barolo DOCG 2019 is a dry red wine, crafted with meticulous care from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, harvested from the prestigious Barolo region in Piedmont, Italy. Renowned for its adherence to the highest quality standards of the DOCG certification, this Barolo reflects Ascheri's commitment to expressing the unique characteristics of the Nebbiolo grape and the specific terroir of the "Pisapola" vineyard. This vintage is a testament to the winery's philosophy of minimal intervention, aiming to produce a wine that is both a pure expression of its origin and a sophisticated embodiment of the varietal's complexity.

After the move, Matteo Cavaleri's house became La Morra in Bra in 1880, where it is still today. Classically producing "Piedmontese" reds, their lists also included Gavi, Brachetto and Vermouth along with "Barolino Chinato" and "Gran Vino Barolo". In 1994, some of the old cellars were cleverly used by the Ascheri family, who opened l'Osteria Muri vecchi, an ideal meeting place where you can truly enjoy traditional cuisine and local wines and turn them into cultural, social and fun experiences. Today, the winery is run by the current president of the Barolo appellation, Matteo Ascheri.  

Upon tasting, the Ascheri “Pisapola” Barolo 2019 unfolds a deep and inviting array of aromas, featuring ripe red fruits, notably cherries and plums, entwined with evocative notes of violets, licorice, and a hint of earthy truffle.

This Barolo is characterized by its harmonious balance, combining intensity of flavor with a finesse that is the hallmark of Ascheri’s winemaking craft.

The robust and nuanced profile of the Ascheri “Pisapola” Barolo DOCG 2019 makes it an ideal pairing for sophisticated meat dishes, such as braised short ribs or roast lamb, where the wine’s complexity and structure complement the richness of the food.
