Description

The 1975 Villadoria Barbaresco Riserva is a vintage red wine from the Barbaresco region in Piedmont, Italy. Crafted from the prestigious Nebbiolo grape, this wine is celebrated for its complexity, aging potential, and ability to express the unique characteristics of its terroir. While Barbaresco wines are often compared to their neighbor, Barolo, they are known for a slightly softer and more approachable style, offering elegance alongside Nebbiolo's renowned structure.

The Producer: Villadoria

These wines undergo extended aging, allowing them to develop remarkable complexity and depth. The 1975 Riserva is a prime example of Villadoria's commitment to quality and tradition.

The Vintage: 1975

Tasting Notes
On the nose, this wine delivers a bouquet of dried roses, leather, tobacco, forest floor, and hints of truffle or mushroom—classic tertiary aromas that emerge after decades of aging. The palate is marked by soft, well-integrated tannins, balanced acidity, and flavors of dried red cherries, earthy spices, and a touch of sweetness from its time in the bottle. Additional complex tertiary notes enhance the experience, creating a silky texture and a lingering, elegant finish.

Food Pairing
The 1975 Villadoria Barbaresco Riserva pairs exceptionally well with rich, flavorful dishes. Ideal pairings include braised meats, truffle-infused recipes, hearty stews, and aged cheeses. These foods complement the wine’s mature, layered flavors and allow its refined profile to take center stage.

Storage and Serving Tips
Proper handling of this rare vintage is crucial to enjoy it at its best. First, inspect the cork and fill level to ensure the wine has been stored correctly. Gently decant the wine to separate sediment and let it breathe for at least 30 minutes. Serve at a slightly cooler room temperature (16–18°C or 60–65°F) to highlight its intricate flavors and aromas.
