Barolo

1990 Barolo Nebbiolo

Poderi Aldo Conterno Barolo, a remarkable 1990 vintage, showcases the striking elegance of Nebbiolo from the esteemed Barolo region. This wine presents a captivating deep ruby hue, hinting at its age and complexity. The body is full, offering a rich and opulent texture that envelops the palate. Its acidity is pronounced, contributing a refreshing brightness that beautifully balances the wine's structure. Tannins are notable yet well-integrated, adding a firm backbone while allowing the aromas to shine through. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of dark cherry, plum, and hints of dried rose petals, complemented by the classic notes of tar and earthy undertones typical of Barolo. As a dry wine, it finishes with a lingering depth that invites contemplation, making it a perfect choice for savoring alongside hearty dishes or simply enjoying on its own.

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.
