{"product_id":"barolo-terre-del-barolo-1983","title":"Barolo Riserva Terre del Barolo 1981","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the 1981 Barolo Riserva from Cantina Terre del Barolo, a Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG) Riserva red wine made entirely from the Nebbiolo grape. Founded in 1958 in Castiglione Falletto, the heart of the Barolo zone, Terre del Barolo is one of the appellation's largest cooperatives. It brings together around 300 members cultivating over 600 hectares across all eleven Barolo communes. The 1981 vintage in this area is characterized by fine acidity and structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine originates from Piedmont, a prestigious region in northwestern Italy whose name literally translates to \"at the foot of the mountain.\" Surrounded by the Alps, the landscape is defined by dramatic, steep hills, particularly in the Langhe subregion southwest of Alba. Here, thick autumn morning fog often blankets the vineyards, protecting the grapes and ensuring a long, perfect ripening period. Barolo is widely recognized as one of Italy's great classic red wines, deeply connected to the local terroir and the region's renowned gastronomy, which includes Alba white truffles and hazelnuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNebbiolo is an Italian top-tier grape variety known for producing elegant wines with significant structure, and it is the sole grape used in the production of Barolo. Because Terre del Barolo's members are spread across the entire appellation, the cooperative can draw upon a cross-section of the area's terroir mosaic. This geographic breadth allows them to combine the distinct characteristics of various communes, from the elegance of La Morra and the balance of Castiglione Falletto to the density of Monforte d'Alba and the structure of Serralunga.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRepresenting a cooperative model that historically provided access to valuable grapes from many small winegrowers united under one producer, the winery exclusively bottles its own production. By grouping only growers from the typical Barolo zone, Terre del Barolo ages the wine in the traditional manner to maintain its classic characteristics, offering a genuine expression of the appellation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Terre del Barolo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57472460521798,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1470_bf6d3759-c310-4e4a-a9de-39213e6823d5.jpg?v=1790600191","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/barolo-terre-del-barolo-1983","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
