Barolo Riserva

1967 Barolo Nebbiolo

The Santa Rita Barolo Riserva is a stunning expression of Nebbiolo, hailing from the famed Barolo region. This 1967 vintage showcases a rich, deep red color that hints at its age and complexity. On the palate, it presents an elegant balance of fruit intensity with prominent notes of dark cherry and subtle hints of rose petal, perfectly complemented by earthy undertones and a whisper of spice. Its body is full, providing a robust mouthfeel that carries the flavors beautifully. The acidity is pronounced, lending the wine a bright liveliness that enhances its overall structure. Tannins are notable yet refined, creating a velvety texture that invites further exploration. This wine is impeccably dry, making it a remarkable pairing for rich, hearty dishes, and demonstrating the lasting legacy of fine 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.
