Description

The 1965 Barolo from Giorgio Barbero is a captivating expression of traditional Nebbiolo winemaking from a storied era in Piedmont. Crafted in a time when extended maceration and aging in large Slavonian oak casks were the norm, this wine offers a snapshot of classic Barolo style—structured, complex, and built for the long term. Giorgio Barbero was among the producers embracing this approach, producing wines with depth and authenticity.

In appearance, the wine shows a light garnet core with orange-brick reflections at the rim—hallmarks of long-aged Nebbiolo. The nose is nuanced and aromatic, offering layers of dried roses, cherry liqueur, worn leather, and tobacco leaf. As the wine opens up, notes of forest floor, tar, and a gentle sweetness of faded red fruit begin to emerge, adding dimension and elegance.

On the palate, this Barolo is soft and refined, with tannins that have mellowed over time and acidity that provides balance and freshness. Flavours include dried cherry, balsamic hints, earthy mushroom, and subtle spice. It glides smoothly across the palate, delivering a graceful and quietly complex finish that lingers with finesse.

Though 1965 was not a top-rated vintage, the Giorgio Barbero Barolo showcases the resilience and charm of traditional winemaking. It remains a beautifully aged wine that speaks to both the terroir of Barolo and the craftsmanship of its time—ideal for those who appreciate subtlety, evolution, and the soulful character of mature Nebbiolo.
