Barolo

1997 Barolo Nebbiolo

The Corino Barolo, crafted from the illustrious Nebbiolo grape, stands as a testament to the esteemed vineyards of Barolo. This red wine showcases a full-bodied character that envelops the palate with its complexity. The acidity is pronounced, providing a refreshing lift that complements the wine's rich profile. With a fruit intensity that is both prominent and alluring, it reveals layers of dark cherries, plums, and hints of floral notes, alongside earthy undertones that add depth. The tannins are notably structured, contributing to the wine's longevity and enhancing the overall texture. As a vintage from 1997, this Barolo has matured gracefully, striking a perfect balance that invites contemplation and enjoyment with every sip.

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.
