Three Kings: a UK exclusive gift set of award-winning Barolo wine
£144.00
Barolo is considered “the King of Wines”, and this gift set includes three regal examples from La Morra, Monforte and Novello.
If you’re looking for an impressive gift for a wine connoisseur, this set of three Decanter medal-winning Barolos is ideal. Each bottle comes from a different vintage and different cru, so it’s perfect for those who want to taste the difference in nuance. The bottles are presented together in a beautiful polished wooden box, showcasing the luxurious nature of this gift.
The wines included are:
Demarie Barolo DOCG 2016
2016 is undoubtedly the best vintage of this decade. La Morra is one of the most prized villages in Barolo, and this wine is an excellent example of why. Full of flavour and elegance, it’s packed with the signature aromas of wild rose, liquorice, cinnamon and dark chocolate – bolstered by powerful tannins. Paolo Demarie’s vineyard has off-white soils, rich in blue-grey marls. All of the grapes come from a single vineyard, planted with 50 year-old vines. Read more about this wine.
Broccardo Barolo DOCG Ravera 2017
Award-winning single-vineyard Barolo wine from the Ravera cru. This Barolo wine has a typical garnet colour, but of a slightly darker hue. Straight out of the bottle, this Barolo Ravera bursts with aromas of rose, red cherry, mint and dried cranberry, with tempting notes of cherry liqueur chocolate and espresso.

Francone Barolo DOCG 2018
This particular Barolo is made in the “classic” style, using long fermentation and ageing in large oak barrels. This way, Francone is able to preserve the precious natural flavours of the Nebbiolo grape. This Barolo is very drinkable and not overly tannic. To tame the Nebbiolo’s powerful tannins, Francone ages his wine for 30 months – far longer than 18 months required by the disciplinare. The resulting wine is well-balanced and absolutely delicious to drink. Read more about this wine.
