Nebbiolo d'Alba Marchesi di Barolo 1966
Denne rødvin fra 1966 er produceret af Antichi Poderi dei Marchesi di Barolo, der betragtes som den historiske vugge for moderne Barolo. Vinhusets rødder går tilbage til Falletti-familien, hvor Marquise Giulia Falletti Colbert og hendes mand Carlo Tancredi Falletti i begyndelsen af 1800-tallet skabte den vinstil, vi i dag kender som Barolo. Da dynastiet uddøde i 1864, overgik godserne til velgørenhedsfonden Opera Pia Barolo, hvilket også fremgår af flaskens etiket med teksten 'GIA' OPERA PIA BAROLO'. Siden 1929 har huset været ejet og drevet af Abbona-familien, som i dag råder over 110 hektar, herunder nogle af områdets mest prestigefyldte parceller. Som et historisk bindeled til fortiden er fem af Marchesa Giulias originale egetræsfade fra 1800-tallet stadig i brug i kælderen.
Vinen stammer fra Piemonte i det nordvestlige Italien, en region omkranset af Alperne og kendt for sit store fokus på terroir. Det dramatiske landskab med stejle bakker er ofte svøbt i tyk morgentåge om efteråret, hvilket beskytter druerne og giver en lang modningsproces. Nærmere bestemt kommer vinen fra Nebbiolo d'Alba, et område der dækker bakkerne omkring byen Alba. Jordbunden her varierer fra kalkholdig mergel til mere sandede partier.
Vinen er fremstillet udelukkende på Nebbiolo, som er en af Italiens absolutte topdruer og fundamentet for regionens mest berømte vine. Etiketten på denne flaske bærer våbenskjoldet med inskriptionen 'EX VITA VITA' samt historiske anerkendelser i form af medaljer fra Torino i 1884, Wien i 1873 og en Gran Prix fra Bruxelles i 1910. Vinen har en alkoholprocent på 12 og er tappet på en flaske indeholdende 72 centiliter.
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.
Toen deze wijn werd gemaakt, zag de wereld er heel anders uit. Hier zijn enkele verhalen die zich ontvouwden toen deze fles rustig in de kelder rijpte.
