{"product_id":"barolo-terre-del-barolo-1978","title":"Barolo Riserva Terre del Barolo 1978","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Barolo Riserva Terre del Barolo from the 1978 vintage originates from Piedmont, a prestigious wine region located in northwestern Italy at the foot of the Alps. The region is characterized by its dramatic, steep hills in the Langhe sub-area, which are often enveloped in thick autumn morning fog that protects the grapes and ensures a long, perfect ripening period. The 1978 vintage in this area achieved a score of 97 points, defined by power and finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine is produced in Barolo, one of Piedmont's most esteemed wine areas situated southwest of Alba, known for creating some of Italy's great classic red wines. The area is inextricably linked to Nebbiolo, an Italian top grape cultivated extensively in Barolo, Barbaresco, and the wider Piedmont region. Nebbiolo is renowned for yielding elegant wines with significant structure. Classified as a Denominazione di Origine Controllata Riserva, this wine represents a classic expression of the local terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTerre del Barolo was founded in 1958 in Castiglione Falletto, the heart of the Barolo zone. As one of the appellation's largest cooperatives, it comprises around 300 members cultivating over 600 hectares across all eleven Barolo municipalities. This extensive geographic coverage allows the cooperative to draw from the entire terroir mosaic of Barolo, capturing the elegance of La Morra, the structure of Serralunga, the density of Monforte d'Alba, and the balance of Castiglione Falletto. The cooperative model historically provided access to valuable grapes from numerous small growers united under one producer. The winery emphasizes that the wine is aged in the traditional manner to maintain its classic and genuine characteristics, with sales strictly limited to their exclusive production.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Terre del Barolo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57416684175686,"sku":null,"price":270.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1318_76494b03-c7b5-462b-8a2d-2e72b95232e1.jpg?v=1789993469","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.nl\/en\/products\/barolo-terre-del-barolo-1978","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
