Barolo

1971 Barolo Nebbiolo

The Cordero Di Montezemolo Barolo from the iconic vintage of 1971 showcases the timeless elegance of Nebbiolo. This wine presents a deep red hue that hints at its maturity and character. With a full-bodied profile, it envelops the palate with a rich tapestry of flavors, bringing forth notes of cherry, dried rose petals, and a touch of leather that define the variety. Its acidity is notably bright, adding a refreshing lift that harmonizes beautifully with the wine's robust structure. The tannins are firm yet refined, providing a solid backbone that promises longevity and depth. This Barolo is beautifully dry, allowing the intricate layers of fruit and earthy undertones to shine through, culminating in a finish that lingers delightfully, inviting you to savor each sip.

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.
