Barolo

1977 Barolo Nebbiolo

The Prunotto Barolo from the esteemed 1977 vintage is a striking example of the Nebbiolo varietal, hailing from the renowned Barolo region in Italy. This wine showcases a full-bodied character that envelops the palate with its rich and nuanced flavors. The acidity is pronounced, providing a bright and lively backbone that balances the wine's complex profile. The fruit intensity is remarkably prominent, offering layers of dark cherry and dried plum, while subtle hints of rose petal add an enchanting depth. Tannins are notably firm, contributing to the wine's structure and aging potential, resulting in a captivating experience that is both elegant and powerful. This Barolo remains a dry yet mouthwatering delight, epitomizing the classic traits of its region and varietal.

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.
