1975 Barbaresco – La Brenta d’Oro (Piedmont, Italy)
A fully mature, classically styled Barbaresco that puts perfume and finesse ahead of power. Brick-garnet with a broad tawny rim, it opens on dried cherry and cranberry, rose petal and violet, with cedar, leather and sweet tobacco, plus hints of orange peel, tea leaf and a gentle tar/balsamic lift. The palate is mid-weight and savoury: lively, old-world acidity carries red-cherry fruit, dried herbs and subtle undergrowth; tannins are fine and resolved, the finish tapering with cherry skin, cedar spice and dried flowers.
Producer note: La Brenta d’Oro bottles in a traditional Langhe idiom—Nebbiolo raised in older large casks and given time in bottle—yielding wines that evolve toward fragrance, silk and tertiary nuance.
Serve: 16–18 °C. Stand upright 12–24 hours; very gentle decant for sediment just before pouring.
Food pairing: Roast chicken with herbs, tajarin with butter and sage, porcini risotto, aged pecorino.
