Barolo

1959 Barolo Red Blend

The Pio Cesare Barolo from the prestigious Barolo region is an exquisite red blend that beautifully showcases the characteristics of its vintage. With a captivating deep red hue, this wine exudes elegance and depth. On the palate, it offers a full-bodied experience, complemented by high acidity that adds a refreshing brightness. The fruit intensity is pronounced, revealing layers of dark cherry and plum, harmoniously intertwined with earthy undertones and hints of spice. Tannins are notable and structured, providing a firm backbone that promises further aging potential. This wine is wonderfully dry, making it a perfect companion for rich dishes or a savory cheese board, highlighting its refined craftsmanship and the exceptional terroir 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.
