Barolo

1958 Barolo Nebbiolo

The Pio Cesare Barolo from the 1958 vintage is a stunning expression of Nebbiolo hailing from the esteemed Barolo region. This red wine captivates with its striking garnet hue, showcasing its age and the depth it has developed over the decades. On the palate, it exhibits a full-bodied character complemented by high acidity that adds vibrancy and balance to the experience. The fruit intensity is prominent, presenting delightful notes of cherry, plum, and delicate floral undertones that are characteristic of Nebbiolo. Tannins are notably structured yet refined, providing a gracious framework that evolves gracefully with each sip. This wine is beautifully dry, making it an exceptional pairing for hearty Italian dishes or simply enjoyed on its own as a testament to the timeless elegance of Barolo.

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.
