Giovanni Pippione

1961 Giovanni Pippione Barolo

Vintage & Background
1961 is regarded as one of the landmark vintages of Barolo. Nebbiolo grapes that year benefitted from favourable conditions which allowed full ripeness while retaining good acidity. Giovanni Pippione, though less famous than some other Barolo houses, produced wines in this vintage that show strong ageing potential and a flavour profile true to Barolo tradition.

Appearance & Nose
Well-stored bottles display a colour that has softened from youthful crimson to garnet, often with tawny or brick hues on the rim. The nose yields heady aromas of rose, leather, vanilla, cherry, pepper, cranberry and strawberry. …

Giovanni Pippione

Barolo is known as the 'king of wines' and is made from the Nebbiolo grape. Heady aromas of rose, leather, vanilla, cherry, pepper, cranberry, strawberry. Fruits are perfectly knitted with the tannins and acidity. It's a powerful wine but remarkably subtle. Don't underestimate it and certainly serve it with food to show at it's best. Nebbiolo has naturally high tannins and acidity, so it will take on full-flavoured, rich foods no problem at all.
