Should You Decant Barolo?
Yes, it is generally recommended to decant Barolo to allow it to breathe and fully open up. Barolo is a complex and robust wine that often requires time to develop its full potential. Decanting can help soften the tannins, enhance the wine’s aromas, and bring out its rich flavors. It’s best to decant Barolo for at least an hour before serving, but some experts recommend decanting for up to three hours.
