What determines the colour of barolo?
The colour of a Barolo depends on a number of factors, including the grape variety, soil type, climatic conditions, and the method and length of ageing. The grape variety from which barolo wine is made, Nebbiolo, essentially determines the colour of the wine based on the proportion of anthocyanins and tannins it contains. The composition of the soil and climatic conditions, such as the amount of sunlight and temperature, also influence the intensity and hue of the colour. During ageing, the colour of the wine can change further, usually taking on a browner hue as it oxidises over the years.
How is the barolo colour colour mixing possible?
