Barbaresco

1971 Barbaresco Nebbiolo

The Castello Di Verduno Barbaresco from the legendary 1971 vintage is a splendid expression of the Nebbiolo varietal, showcasing the depth and complexity of this iconic region. This red wine presents a mesmerizing ruby hue, hinting at its rich character. On the palate, it offers a medium-body that gracefully balances the vibrant acidity, lending a refreshing lift to the overall profile. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing alluring notes of dark cherry and dried rose petals, underscored by subtle earthy undertones. Tannins are notably firm, providing structure and the potential for further aging. As a dry wine, it embodies the classic elegance of Barbaresco, making it a distinguished choice for those who appreciate the finesse of Old-World expressions.

Italy

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
