The Cavalier Lorenzo Accomasso: ancient Baroli but with a young soul
01/12/2015
- Cavalier Lorenzo Accomasso is the soul of the wine. It produces ancient Barolo, but with a young and flooding sound a long and intense breath that slowly emerges.
Barolo Rocche and Barolo Rocchette stand for a long time and they are bottled only after they have received Lorenzo's placet, a year later than the other producers on average
It is a wine that comes from 40 days long (or even more) macerations ,as his father Giovanni thought him, the wine matures more slowly in order to face better the passing of time.
Lorenzo Accomasso's agricultural company is not that big, only a little more than 3 hectares of low range vineyard all around the house and the wine cellar and it is family-run.
The Barolo in which the Accomasso family has always trusted in comes from Rocchette, a small land in the middle of the Rocche dell'Annunziata.
Lorenzo was one of the first, if not the first in absolute, in that zone to selected-variety winemake.
