The word “barrister” comes from the English word “bar”, it is the barrier that separates the judge from the defendant. This is the highest rank of lawyer in Britain. From the fifteenth century, prisoners could instruct “a cultured and eloquent friend” to protect their interests. The lawyers had access to the “judicial bar”, so they could be heard by the court in the interest of their client. The lawyer’s speech in court is precise and sharp as a blade. In England it is said that the gin is “cold like steel”-due to the strong cold aftertaste.
Barolo DOCG Vignarionda Riserva 75cl, 14.5%
Barolo Cannubi DOCG 2018, Marchese di Barolo 75cl, 14%
Cannubi is the long, gradually rising hill in the centre of the Barolo area. Here, Serravallian and Tortonian soils meet and merge, creating bluish-gray marls rich in magnesium and manganese carbonates that take on a whitish-gray hue at the surface due to weathering: clays mixed with very fine sands, impregnated with a strong limestone content composed of magnesium and manganese carbonates. Their technical name is “Sant’Agata fossil marls”, but they are commonly called Toû and on average they comprise clays (55%), sands (30%) and limestone (15%). Surrounded by higher hills that protect it from bad weather and excessive flow of air, Cannubi enjoys a very special, unique microclimate.
