{"product_id":"2024-corino-giovanni-di-corino-giuliano-langhe-nebbiolo-liberty","title":"2024 Corino Giovanni di Corino Giuliano, Langhe Nebbiolo - Liberty","description":"\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root accordion_paragraphSection__v26kt MuiTypography-body1\"\u003eThe Corino family have farmed land in La Morra since the 1950s, originally coming to the region as ‘mezzadri’, or sharecroppers. Yet it wasn’t until Giuliano Corino took over from his grandfather Giovanni in the 1980s that the Corino name became synonymous with some of La Morra’s finest Nebbiolo. Having originally sold their fruit, Giuliano was determined to start making and bottling his own wine from his family's vines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root accordion_paragraphSection__v26kt MuiTypography-body1\"\u003eThe 1980s were a momentous time for winemaking in Barolo. With the advent of new thinking, based on foundations laid by the great Angelo Gaja, Giuliano experimented with rotary fermenters, short macerations, and small French oak barrels. In all his wines, tannins are perfectly managed, and oak is beautifully integrated, the result of Giuliano’s interpretation of a style that sits comfortably between tradition and modernity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root accordion_paragraphSection__v26kt MuiTypography-body1\"\u003eToday, Giuliano is helped both in the vineyard and cellar by his wife Stefania, daughter Veronica and son Andrea. Their wines offer wonderful expressions of the prime sites planted just below La Morra, where the estate’s 9.5 hectares are farmed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root accordion_paragraphSection__v26kt MuiTypography-body1\"\u003eThe Langhe Nebbiolo is unoaked and released after one year ageing in stainless steel, resulting in a beautiful purity and fragrance with great balance. The Barolo hails from several sites around Annunziata, within the commune of La Morra. It is powerful yet balanced with alluring notes of redberry fruit and spices. The two single vineyards, ‘Giachini’ and ‘Arborina’, are planted on opposite sides of the small hamlet of Annunziata, where the winery is based. The soils here are primarily calcareous marl clays. While ‘Giachini’ faces south, ‘Arborina’ has a southeastern aspect, and its soils comprise a higher proportion of sand. The Barolo ‘Giachini’ shows an amplified complexity and density, while the superb Barolo ‘Arborina’ displays elegance and power, with its ripe fruit leavened by hints of spice and floral notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root accordion_paragraphSection__v26kt MuiTypography-body1\"\u003eThe ‘Bricco Manescotto’ vineyard, on the border with Castiglione Falletto, enjoys a southwestern exposure with soils comprised of equal parts clay, sand and marl. As with his other Barolos, after harvesting and crushing, Giuliano controls extraction during fermentation with rotary fermenters at 25 – 30°C. After malolactic fermentation in stainless steel, most of the wines are matured for up to 24 months in small French barrels, of which roughly a third are new. Once blended, the wines spend about six months in stainless steel before bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiPaper-root MuiAccordion-root accordion_accordion__I9cut Mui-expanded MuiAccordion-rounded MuiPaper-elevation1 MuiPaper-rounded\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiCollapse-root MuiCollapse-entered\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiCollapse-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiCollapse-wrapperInner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv role=\"region\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiAccordionDetails-root\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1\"\u003eGrapes for this wine are sourced from the younger vines of Arborina and Bricco Manescotto, near the Frazione Annunziata, in the commune of La Morra. The vineyards are situated at an altitude of 220-260 metres above sea level, with a south\/south west exposure. Soils are mainly calcareous and clayey. The vines are between 7-15 years-old and Guyot pruned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiPaper-root MuiAccordion-root accordion_accordion__I9cut Mui-expanded MuiAccordion-rounded MuiPaper-elevation1 MuiPaper-rounded\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiCollapse-root MuiCollapse-entered\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiCollapse-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiCollapse-wrapperInner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv role=\"region\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiAccordionDetails-root\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1\"\u003eThe 2024 vintage began with a slow start to the growing season, marked by the absence of snow, good rainfall, and below-average temperatures, with wet conditions persisting until mid-June. As temperatures rose, vine growth accelerated under generally favourable weather. Harvest took place from late September to 11 October, with a few interruptions from rain. Both quality and quantity were strong, yielding wines that favour elegance over richness, with juicy profiles, freshness, and excellent drinkability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiPaper-root MuiAccordion-root accordion_accordion__I9cut Mui-expanded MuiAccordion-rounded MuiPaper-elevation1 MuiPaper-rounded\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiCollapse-root MuiCollapse-entered\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiCollapse-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiCollapse-wrapperInner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv role=\"region\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiAccordionDetails-root\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1\"\u003eUpon arrival at the winery, the hand-picked grapes were crushed and destemmed before undergoing a three-day maceration period in the roto-fermenter, at controlled temperatures of 25-27°C. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation took place in stainless-steel vats, after which the wine spent three weeks in temperature-controlled tanks at 2-3°C to undergo tartaric stabilisation. Maturation then took place in tank followed by a further ageing period in bottle prior to release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe wine displays intense aromas of cherries and juicy red fruit, with hints of violet and rose.
