{"product_id":"barbaresco-alba-est-1959-1","title":"Barbaresco 1959","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 1959 Barbaresco from Cantina Produttori del Barbaresco is a classic red wine from the Piedmont region in northwestern Italy. Piedmont, literally meaning \"at the foot of the mountain,\" is bordered by the Alps and is globally recognized for its profound focus on terroir. The wine originates from the Barbaresco area, located in the Langhe hills east of Alba. The dramatic, steep hills of Langhe are often enveloped in thick autumn morning fog, which protects the grapes and ensures a long, perfect ripening period. The 1959 vintage in this area achieved a score of 89 points and is characterized as full-bodied and mature with a beautiful structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine is made exclusively from Nebbiolo, Italy's premier grape variety known for producing wines with great structure. Nebbiolo is deeply rooted in Piedmont and is the sole grape used for the prestigious wines of both Barbaresco and Barolo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduttori del Barbaresco is one of the world's most respected wine cooperatives. While the modern iteration was founded in 1958 by local Barbaresco winegrowers, its deeper history dates back to 1894 when Domizio Cavazza, the director of the local enological school, established the first cooperative in the area. After being closed during the war years in 1942, it was successfully re-established. Today, the cooperative consists of 51 members who collectively own 110 hectares of vineyards. In a rare display of specialization, these vineyards are planted entirely with Nebbiolo and are located exclusively within the Barbaresco zone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cooperative is particularly renowned for its contribution to the identity of the appellation through its single-vineyard crus, which map the terroir mosaic of the area. This specific release is classified as a \"Vino Tipico Pregiato\" and is associated with the Organizzazione Commerciale Alba Est and the Consorzio Agrario Provinciale of Cuneo.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Produttori del Barbaresco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57656607572294,"sku":null,"price":240.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1607_4941114b-c059-4b2a-ac7b-eaf5eaf5c8e5.jpg?v=1792415816","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/barbaresco-alba-est-1959-1","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
