Barbaresco Pio Cesare 1969
Barbaresco Pio Cesare 1969 er en rødvin fremstillet af den anerkendte producent Pio Cesare, der holder til i hjertet af Alba i den nordvestitalienske region Piemonte. Vinhuset blev grundlagt i 1881 af Cesare Pio, som brød med datidens traditioner ved at tappe sin egen vin på flaske frem for at sælge den i tønder. I dag foregår produktionen stadig i de historiske vinkældre med vægge, der daterer sig helt tilbage til romertiden omkring år 50 f.Kr. Huset drives nu af femte generation, som fortsætter linjen med at bygge bro mellem tradition og modernitet. Pio Cesare var desuden blandt de første italienske vinhuse, der for alvor begyndte at eksportere til Storbritannien i 1950'erne. Historisk anerkendelse af husets arbejde kan også ses på denne flaskes etiket, der fremviser guld- og sølvmedaljer fra udstillinger i blandt andet Asti i 1898, Torino i 1902, Bruxelles i 1910 og Cuneo i 1955. Denne specifikke aftapning rummer 720 ml og har en alkoholprocent på 13,5 %.
Vinen er klassificeret som en Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC) og kommer fra Barbaresco, et klassisk område beliggende i Langhe-bakkerne øst for Alba. Piemonte er omkranset af Alperne og er kendt for sine dramatiske, stejle bakker, der ofte er svøbt i tyk morgentåge om efteråret. Dette landskab og det lokale terroir danner rammen om vinproduktionen i området, hvor små, familiedrevne vingårde har et enormt fokus på samspillet mellem jordbund og mikroklima. For årgang 1969 i dette område, som har opnået en score på 83 point, lyder beskrivelsen på en fin syre, men en lidt tynd profil.
Vinen er lavet udelukkende på Nebbiolo, som er en italiensk topdrue, der især er udbredt i Piemonte og udgør fundamentet for vinene fra både Barolo og Barbaresco. Druen er kendt for at skabe vine med stor struktur, og i Barbaresco-området, herunder kommunerne Neive, Treiso og San Rocco Seno d’Elvio, resulterer det ofte i en stil, der fremstår som en elegant pendant til vinene fra det nærliggende Barolo.
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.
Da denne vin blev lavet, så verden meget anderledes ud. Her er nogle af de historier, der udspillede sig, mens denne flaske stille ældes i sin kælder.
