Rivette e Marenca Barolo Riserva Speciale 1967
Rivette e Marenca Barolo Riserva Speciale fra 1967 er en rødvin fra den italienske producent Marchese Villadoria. Vinen er fremstillet på Nebbiolo, som er en italiensk topdrue kendt for at skabe elegante vine. Druen er tæt knyttet til Piemonte og er den eneste drue, der anvendes til at producere de klassiske Barolo-vine.
Druerne til denne vin stammer fra vinmarken Rivette e Marenca, der er beliggende i Serralunga d'Alba. Vinen bærer betegnelsen Riserva Speciale og er klassificeret som DOC. Ifølge etiketten er vinen både produceret, lagret og aftappet direkte på vingården, Cascina Marchese Villadoria.
Barolo er et af Piemontes mest prestigefyldte vinområder og ligger i Langhe-bakkerne sydvest for Alba. Piemonte, der bogstaveligt talt betyder "ved bjergets fod", er omkranset af Alperne i det nordvestlige Italien. Området er kendt for sit enorme fokus på terroir og de dramatiske, stejle bakker, som om efteråret ofte er svøbt i tyk morgentåge. Dette fænomen beskytter druerne og sikrer en lang modning. Årgang 1967 har opnået en score på 86 point og beskrives som moden og åben. Regionen er desuden kendt for sine små, passionerede vingårde og er et gastronomisk centrum, der er berømt for hvide trøfler og hasselnødder.
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.
