Barolo Riserva di Mirafiore is a superlative expression of Nebbiolo, which has its roots in the historic vineyards of Serralunga d'Alba. This wine is the result of a careful selection of the best grapes, and its vinification follows a strict protocol that includes at least five years of maturation, of which the first three in medium and large oak barrels, followed by a year in large concrete tanks and finally a final refinement in the bottle before being released for sale. This process allows Barolo Riserva Mirafiore to develop a complexity and a tannic structure of remarkable elegance, while at the same time guaranteeing extraordinary aging potential. Visually, it presents itself with a deep garnet red color, embellished with ruby ​​​​reflections that tend towards orange with the passing of the years. The bouquet is a triumph of aromas, ranging from sweet spices, such as cocoa and mint, to more earthy and mature notes, such as black cherry, leather and dried mushrooms. The olfactory complexity is fully reflected on the palate, where the wine expresses a velvety tannic richness, integrated with a freshness and a gustatory persistence of rare intensity. The sweetness of the tannins, the result of the perfect phenolic ripening of the grapes, weave a dense and silky texture, which evolves into a long, warm and fascinating finish. In terms of culinary pairings, Barolo Riserva Mirafiore marries magnificently with dishes of great structure and aromatic intensity. Red meats, game, dishes based on porcini mushrooms or truffles, and mature cheeses are ideal companions for this wine, capable of enhancing its aromatic complexity and tannic structure.

The history of Casa E. di Mirafiore is deeply intertwined with the very roots of Piedmont winemaking and its nobility. Founded in 1878 by Emanuele Alberto Guerrieri, Count of Mirafiore and son of the first King of Italy, the winery is located in the fertile territories of Barolo and Fontanafredda. The vision of Emanuele Alberto, an agricultural entrepreneur of noble origins, revolutionized the wine world of the time with a modern approach to wine production and a strong commitment to the community. Recently, Casa E. di Mirafiore has intensified its commitment to sustainability, achieving organic certification in 2018 and celebrating the first certified organic harvest. This orientation was strengthened in 2022 with the publication of the first Sustainability Report and the acquisition of certifications for sustainable practices on its 25 hectares of property in Serralunga, vegan products and recognition as a "Historical Brand" by the Italian government, a sign of its historic contribution to the winemaking of the Langhe, combining tradition and sustainable innovation.
