{"product_id":"barbaresco-alba-est-1959","title":"Barbaresco Produttori del Barbaresco 1959","description":"\u003cp\u003eProduttori del Barbaresco is one of the world's most respected wine cooperatives. The modern iteration was founded in 1958 by local Barbaresco winegrowers, but its deeper history dates back to 1894 when Domizio Cavazza, then director of the local enological school, established the first cooperative in the area. After being dismantled in 1942 during the war years, it was re-established in 1958. Today, the cooperative brings together 51 members who collectively own 110 hectares, all planted exclusively with Nebbiolo within the Barbaresco zone. This rare degree of specialization gives the cooperative a unique position as a producer of classic Barbaresco.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine originates from the Barbaresco area in the Langhe hills east of Alba, within the prestigious Piemonte region of northwestern Italy. Piemonte, literally meaning \"at the foot of the mountain,\" is framed by the Alps and is renowned for its dramatic, steep hills often cloaked in thick autumn morning fog, which protects the grapes and ensures a long, perfect ripening period. Barbaresco is a classic area for the Nebbiolo grape, and the wines from here are often considered a more elegant counterpart to Barolo. The 1959 vintage in this area achieved a score of 89 points and is described as full-bodied and mature with great structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis red wine is made entirely from Nebbiolo, an Italian top-tier grape primarily cultivated in Barolo, Barbaresco, and the wider Piemonte region. The cooperative's most notable contribution to the identity of Barbaresco is the release of nine single-vineyard crus—Asili, Montefico, Montestefano, Muncagota, Ovello, Pajè, Pora, Rabajà, and Rio Sordo—which together illustrate a cross-section of the appellation's terroir mosaic. Under the direction of Aldo Vacca since 1991, the cooperative has continued to offer access to classic Barbaresco wines. This specific 1959 release is classified as a Vino Tipico Pregiato and was distributed through the commercial organization Alba Est in connection with the Consorzio Agrario Provinciale of Cuneo.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Produttori del Barbaresco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57456087499078,"sku":null,"price":3000.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1440_bb80031f-632e-43bc-833d-fd3f5f3901e1.jpg?v=1790339011","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.se\/en\/products\/barbaresco-alba-est-1959","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
