Description
The 1970 Calissano Barbaresco Riserva Speciale is still drinking well after 50 years! Made from the long lived Nebbiolo grape this wine has been matured in cask for an extra 6 months. The 1970 bouquet of oak, antique teak and leather, this wine has resolved tannins in the mouth with plenty of tar and roses. Good finish.
Barbaresco is one of the great wines of Italy's north-western Piedmont region. This aristocratic red has its vineyards situated in the Langhe, on the right-hand side of the Tanaro river and extending from the area north-east of Alba to the communes of Barbaresco, Nieve and Treiso. The dominant variety grown is Nebbiolo, but Dolcetto and Barbera also play a part. The vines are generally grown on limestone-rich marl soils. similar to the Tortonium soils of the Barolo and La Morra areas in Barolo. Similar to its more famous sibling Barolo, Barbaresco is made from 100% Nebbiolo and shares its cult status as one of the finest wines in the world.
