Barolo Riserva Valfieri di Marengo & Cugnasco 1965
Denne rødvin er en Barolo Riserva fra årgang 1965, fremstillet af Valfieri di Marengo & Cugnasco. Vinen er tappet direkte i produktionszonen omkring Alba i det nordvestlige Italien og bærer klassifikationen Denominazione di Origine Controllata, hvilket garanterer dens oprindelse.
Vinen stammer fra Piemonte, en region ved foden af Alperne, der anerkendes som en af verdens mest prestigefyldte. Området er kendt for sine familiedrevne vingårde og et enormt fokus på terroir. Nærmere bestemt er vinen fra Barolo, beliggende i underområdet Langhe. Landskabet her er præget af dramatiske, stejle bakker, der om efteråret ofte svøbes i tyk morgentåge. Dette fænomen beskytter druerne og giver dem en lang, optimal modning. Regionen er desuden et gastronomisk mekka, der er verdensberømt for sine hvide trøfler og hasselnødder.
Barolo er uløseligt forbundet med Nebbiolo, som denne vin er lavet på. Det er en italiensk topdrue, der er kendt for at skabe elegante vine med stor struktur. Nebbiolo trives særligt godt i Piemonte, hvor den danner fundamentet for nogle af Italiens mest klassiske og anerkendte rødvine.
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.
