Giordano

1961 Giordano Dolcetto

Vintage & Background
1961 was an outstanding year in Piedmont, best remembered for Barolo and Barbaresco, but Dolcetto also benefitted from favourable conditions. Normally Dolcetto is produced for earlier drinking, prized for its bright fruit and accessibility. A bottle that has survived since 1961, however, represents more of a historical curiosity than a wine of freshness, offering instead a glimpse into how this grape evolves over extreme ageing.

Appearance & Nose
After more than six decades, the colour is likely pale garnet to tawny with amber hues at the rim. …
