Barolo Terre del Barolo 1986
Denne klassiske rødvin kommer fra den prestigefyldte Piemonte-region i det nordvestlige Italien, nærmere bestemt fra det anerkendte Barolo-område i Langhe sydvest for Alba. Piemonte, som bogstaveligt betyder "ved bjergets fod", er omkranset af Alperne og kendt for sit enorme fokus på terroir. Landskabet er præget af dramatiske, stejle bakker, der ofte svøbes i tyk morgentåge om efteråret, hvilket beskytter druerne og sikrer en lang, perfekt modning. Årgang 1986 har opnået en score på 82 point og beskrives som rustik og spændende, hvilket afspejler de særlige klimatiske betingelser i dette højt respekterede vinområde.
Vinen er fremstillet på Nebbiolo, som er en italiensk topdrue, der er tæt knyttet til netop Barolo, Barbaresco og det øvrige Piemonte. Druen er fundamentet for nogle af Italiens største klassiske rødvine og er kendt for at skabe elegante vine med stor struktur.
Cantina Terre del Barolo blev grundlagt i 1958 i Castiglione Falletto, hjertet af Barolo-zonen. Det er et af appellationens største kooperativer med omkring 300 medlemmer og over 600 hektar fordelt over alle 11 Barolo-kommuner. Denne brede geografiske dækning gør det muligt for kooperativet at samle druer fra hele Barolos terroir-mosaik – fra La Morras blødere udtryk til Serralungas struktur og Monforte d'Albas tæthed. Vinen er aftappet af producenten selv og bærer den højeste italienske klassifikation, Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG). Ifølge vingården lagres vinen efter traditionelle metoder for at bevare dens klassiske og ægte karakter, og kooperativet begrænser sit salg udelukkende til egen produktion.
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.
