Vigneti Borgognot Barolo Riserva 1976
Vigneti Borgognot Barolo Riserva 1976 er en italiensk rødvin produceret og aftappet af vinbonden Borgogno Lodovico. Vinen er klassificeret som Denominazione Origine Controllata Riserva og kommer fra vinmarken Vigneti Borgognot. Denne specifikke aftapning bærer en særlig dedikation på etiketten, da den er fremstillet som en "Riserva Speciale per gli Amici della PIETRO BRUNO Spa Cuneo", hvilket markerer den som en særlig reserve for venner af denne virksomhed.
Vinen stammer fra Barolo, et af de mest prestigefyldte vinområder i regionen Piemonte i det nordvestlige Italien. Området ligger i Langhe-bakkerne sydvest for Alba, hvor landskabet er præget af dramatiske, stejle skråninger, der ofte er svøbt i tyk morgentåge om efteråret. Dette særlige mikroklima beskytter druerne og giver en lang modningsproces, hvilket kom til udtryk i årgang 1976, der beskrives som varm og moden med en score på 87 point. Piemonte er generelt verdenskendt for sine små, familiedrevne vingårde og et enormt fokus på, hvordan terroir påvirker vinen.
Barolo er uløseligt forbundet med den italienske topdrue Nebbiolo, som denne vin er baseret på. Druen er kendt for at skabe elegante vine med stor struktur og er fundamentet for de berømte kongevine fra både Barolo og Barbaresco. I Piemonte dyrkes Nebbiolo med stor omhu for at udtrykke det lokale terroir, hvilket har været med til at cementere Barolo som en af Italiens store klassiske 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.
When this wine was made, the world looked very different. Here are some of the stories that unfolded as this bottle quietly aged in its cellar.
