Prapó Barolo Bricco Rocche Ceretto 1986
Denne rødvin er en Prapó Barolo fra 1986, fremstillet af Azienda Agricola Bricco Rocche Ceretto. Vinen kommer fra enkeltmarken Prapó og bærer den højeste italienske vinklassifikation, Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG). Den er aftappet direkte på vingården af ejeren selv, hvilket vidner om en tæt kontrol med hele produktionsprocessen fra mark til flaske.
Vinen er produceret i Barolo, et af de mest prestigefyldte vinområder i det nordvestlige Italien. Området ligger i underregionen Langhe sydvest for Alba i Piemonte, en region der er smukt omkranset af Alperne. Piemonte er verdenskendt for sine små, familiedrevne vingårde og et enormt fokus på terroir, hvor jordbund og mikroklima spiller en afgørende rolle. De dramatiske, stejle bakker i Langhe er ofte svøbt i tyk morgentåge om efteråret, hvilket beskytter druerne og sikrer en lang modningsperiode. Netop årgang 1986 fra dette område beskrives som rustik og spændende med en score på 82 point.
Barolo er udelukkende lavet på Nebbiolo, som er en absolut topdrue i Italien. Druen er tæt knyttet til netop Piemonte og er fundamentet for regionens mest berømte vine. Nebbiolo dyrkes primært i Barolo og Barbaresco, hvor den trives i det unikke bakkede landskab og bidrager til vinens store struktur.
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.
