This Barbaresco has firm but finely polished nebbiolo tannin, high alcohol and a deep, complex body with notes of ripe plums, violet, lavender and coffee. The tannins are best softened by rich, juicy proteins, so choose robust dishes prepared by roasting or braising, where the body matches the wine's weight. The earthy notes play beautifully off game, truffles and mushrooms, while an aged hard cheese lends umami and richness that round off the tannins. Avoid lean fish dishes, where the tannin otherwise takes on a metallic edge.

About the wine

Lorens (Lorenzo in Piedmontese) - A brilliant example of how far Lodali has come in its quest for elegance and precision.

The grapes come from the estate's own vineyards in Treiso – an area known for its high altitude and calcareous soil, which gives the Nebbiolo grape both structure and finesse.

Deep garnet red color and an aroma of ripe plums, violets, and rose petals, accompanied by notes of lavender and a hint of coffee.

The taste is intense and harmonious with great structure and a long finish.

Antonio Galloni describes the 2021 vintage as “a dark, sensual wine that beautifully captures the mystery of Treiso,” calling it an expression of a significant transformation at Lodali – from somewhat heavier, deeper wines to a style that today represents purity and finesse.

Barbaresco Giacone Lorens 2021 is a wine with class and personality. Best served at 14-16 degrees, where its aromatic complexity fully unfolds.

The wine is fermented in cement tanks with temperature control for 25 days and then undergoes a further 25 days of skin contact with submerged cap – a classic Piedmontese method that enhances color, complexity, and depth. Subsequently, the wine is aged in 25hl Austrian oak barrels and matures for an additional 12 months in the bottle.

The wine has fantastic aging potential.
