Barbaresco Riserva Marchesi di Barolo 2001
Denne rødvin er en Barbaresco Riserva fra 2001, fremstillet af Antiche Cantine dei Marchesi di Barolo. Vingården er den historiske vugge for moderne Barolo og er tæt knyttet til Falletti-familien, der i begyndelsen af 1800-tallet skabte den vinstil, vi kender i dag. Marquise Giulia Falletti Colbert og hendes mand Carlo Tancredi Falletti omdannede Nebbiolo-druen fra en sød til en tør rødvin. Huset har en lang og stolt historie og bærer på etiketten titlen som tidligere leverandør til det italienske kongehus. Efter Falletti-dynastiet uddøde i 1864, overgik godserne til en velgørenhedsfond, indtil Abbona-familien købte vinkælderen i 1929. I dag drives huset af femte og sjette generation af familien.
Vinen er klassificeret som en Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG) og kommer fra Barbaresco-området i Piemonte. Piemonte ligger i det nordvestlige Italien ved foden af Alperne og er kendt for sine dramatiske, stejle bakker i Langhe, der ofte er svøbt i tyk morgentåge om efteråret. Barbaresco ligger øst for Alba, hvor vinene primært kommer fra kommunerne Barbaresco, Neive, Treiso og San Rocco Seno d’Elvio. Årgang 2001 beskrives som klassisk med intensitet og har opnået en score på 94 point. Producenten fremhæver desuden årgangen på flasken som en "Grande Annata" (stor årgang), hvilket understreger årets særlige karakter i regionen.
Vinen er udelukkende lavet på Nebbiolo, som er en italiensk topdrue, der er særligt udbredt i Piemonte og udgør fundamentet for vinene fra både Barolo og Barbaresco. Marchesi di Barolo råder over 110 hektar, hvoraf de 45 hektar er ejet af familien selv, og porteføljen inkluderer nogle af områdets mest prestigefyldte parceller. Som en sjælden historisk detalje er fem af Marchesa Giulias originale egetræsfade fra 1800-tallet stadig i brug i kælderen, hvilket fungerer som et levende bindeled mellem områdets vinhistorie og den moderne 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.
