{"product_id":"barolo-bersano-1969","title":"Cascina Badarina Barolo Bersano 1968","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrafted 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBersano 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bersano","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57405051076934,"sku":null,"price":330.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1288_d2b65361-b6ac-44ee-929f-42843a10c2e8.jpg?v=1789741371","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.nl\/en\/products\/barolo-bersano-1969","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
