Barolo Casa E. di Mirafiore 1953
Denne Barolo Casa E. di Mirafiore fra årgang 1953 er en klassisk rødvin fremstillet på den anerkendte italienske topdrue Nebbiolo, der især er udbredt i Barolo, Barbaresco og det øvrige Piemonte. Vinen kommer fra Casa E. di Mirafiore, et historisk vinhus med rødder tilbage til 1858. Huset blev oprindeligt etableret af Emanuele Alberto Guerrieri, greve af Mirafiore, som var uægte søn af Italiens første konge, Vittorio Emanuele II, og hans mistresse Rosa Vercellana. Denne royale arv er en integreret del af vingårdens identitet, og bygningerne bærer stadig Savoy-familiens karakteristiske brune og okkergule farver.
Vinen er produceret i Barolo, et af de mest prestigefyldte vinområder i Langhe-distriktet sydvest for Alba. Området er uløseligt forbundet med Nebbiolo-druen og er kendt for at levere nogle af Italiens største klassiske rødvine. Barolo ligger i regionen Piemonte i det nordvestlige Italien, et område omkranset af Alperne og berømt for sine dramatiske, stejle bakker. Her svøbes landskabet ofte i en tyk morgentåge om efteråret, hvilket beskytter druerne og sikrer en lang modningsproces. Årgang 1953 er for dette område beskrevet med god syre og balance og har opnået en score på 84 point.
Mirafiore-vingårdene, som også omfatter besiddelser i Serralunga d'Alba, er fysisk forbundet med Fontanafredda, og de to mærker udspringer af den samme historiske ejendom. Selvom Mirafiore-brandet blev solgt efter 1900, er det siden blevet genoplivet. I dag fungerer det som en separat label under Fontanafredda, der fokuserer på den klassiske, traditionelle Barolo-stil og bevarelsen af husets unikke historie. Piemonte-regionen, hvor vinen har sin oprindelse, er desuden et gastronomisk centrum, verdenskendt for sine hvide trøfler fra Alba og rige, simrede retter.
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.
