Description
This 1976 Barbera shows a deep garnet core with a brick-orange rim, exhibiting the tawny hues typical of long-aged Piedmont red wines. Light sediment is present, and the colour suggests a wine that has moved fully into tertiary development while retaining a touch of its original vibrancy.
The nose is delicately evolved, with aromas of dried red cherry, cranberry compote, and subtle plum intertwined with tertiary notes of leather, tobacco leaf, earthy forest floor, and gentle spice. Hints of dried herbs, balsamic, and a whisper of truffle add depth, while the overall bouquet is elegant rather than forceful.
On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with soft, integrated acidity and finely resolved tannins. Dried red fruit flavours dominate, complemented by savoury elements of cedar, tobacco, and forest floor. The texture is smooth and slightly chalky, showing the wine’s maturity while maintaining a bright, lifted profile that keeps it lively.
The finish is gentle and lingering, with notes of dried cherry, spice, and earthy undertones. Fully mature and fragile, this Barbera benefits from careful handling: stand the bottle upright before opening, decant lightly to remove sediment, and serve slightly below room temperature to appreciate its nuanced aromas and refined,
