Description

The 1955 Bersano Barolo is a rare and prestigious wine from one of Piedmont’s historic producers. Aged Barolo from a great vintage like 1955 would have evolved into an elegant, complex, and nuanced wine over the decades:
Colour: Garnet with brick-orange hues at the rim, typical of well-aged Nebbiolo.
Nose: Highly aromatic with notes of dried roses, violets, leather, tobacco, and earthy truffle. Secondary aromas of dried cherries, figs, balsamic, and spice (clove, cinnamon) develop beautifully over time.
Palate: Silky and delicate, with softened tannins. Flavours of dried red berries, forest floor, liquorice, and subtle hints of tar and cedar. A lively acidity keeps the wine balanced despite its age.
Finish: Long and persistent, with echoes of dried fruit, spices, and an elegant minerality.
This 1955 Bersano Barolo would need careful decanting to remove sediment and allow its complex aromas to fully open.
