Cascina Badarina Barolo Bersano 1968
The 1968 Cascina Badarina Barolo is a classic Italian red wine produced by Bersano. Classified as a Riserva Speciale and holding a Denominazione di Origine Controllata status, this wine originates from the prestigious Barolo area in the Langhe hills, southwest of Alba. The 1968 vintage in this area was characterized by weak and rainy conditions. Piedmont, meaning "at the foot of the mountain," is located in northwestern Italy and is surrounded by the Alps. The region is globally recognized for its dramatic, steep hills that are often enveloped in thick autumn morning fog, a natural phenomenon that protects the grapes and ensures a long, perfect ripening period.
Crafted entirely from Nebbiolo, an Italian top grape renowned for producing elegant wines with great structure, this release is deeply tied to the Barolo area. Nebbiolo is the foundation of Barolo, which is celebrated as one of Italy's most significant classic red wines. The region's immense focus on terroir highlights how the local soil and microclimate directly influence the vines. Piedmont is also a renowned gastronomic center, famous for its exclusive white truffles from Alba and local hazelnuts.
Bersano was founded in 1907 by Giuseppe Bersano in Nizza Monferrato. It was his son, Arturo Bersano, who began expanding the house's international reputation from 1935 onwards. The estate has grown significantly since the acquisition of the Cremosina vineyard in 1912 and now spans over 230 hectares across ten properties in Langhe and Monferrato. Today, the winery is managed by the Massimelli family, with Federica Massimelli becoming its first female leader in 2021. Notably, the label on this specific release features handwritten notes indicating that the wine was selected from a 1968 harvest barrel from the Cascina Badarina vineyard in Serralunga d'Alba, personally chosen by Arturo Bersano for the private cellar of his friend Luigi Franchi. The wine was bottled directly in the production zone.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Piedmont
Piedmont (which literally means "at the foot of the mountain") is located in northwestern Italy, surrounded by the Alps. It is considered one of the world's absolute most prestigious wine regions. The area is known for small, passionate, family-run wineries and a huge focus on terroir (how the soil and microclimate affect the wine).
Classic characteristics of Piedmont:
The royal wines: This is where the world-famous, complex and expensive red wines Barolo and Barbaresco come from (both made from 100% Nebbiolo).
Everyday heroes: In addition to Nebbiolo, the region is famous for the grapes Barbera (juicy, acidic and incredibly popular) and Dolcetto (dark, soft and fruity).
The white and sweet: Piedmont also makes the crisp white wine Gavi and the famous, lightly sparkling dessert bubbles Moscato d'Asti.
The landscape: Dramatic, steep hills – especially in the Langhe sub-area. The hills are often shrouded in thick morning mist in autumn, which protects the grapes and allows for a long, perfect ripening.
Gastronomy: An absolute mecca for food lovers. The area is world famous for the exclusive white truffles from Alba, hazelnuts and rich, simmered dishes that scream with a glass of local red wine.
When this wine was made, the world looked very different. Here are some of the stories that unfolded while this bottle quietly aged in its cellar.
