Description
The 1965 Barolo from Marchesi di Barolo is a distinguished example of traditional Nebbiolo winemaking from one of the region’s most historic producers. Known for crafting age-worthy wines that reflect the soul of Piedmont, Marchesi di Barolo has long upheld a commitment to classic methods—long maceration, aging in large Slavonian oak casks, and minimal intervention—resulting in wines built to evolve gracefully over decades.
In the glass, this Barolo reveals a pale garnet hue with amber-orange tinges, typical of mature Nebbiolo. The nose is richly layered, offering aromas of dried rose petals, leather, tar, and sweet spice. As the wine opens, more subtle notes emerge: dried cherries, earthy mushroom, and a touch of balsamic, all contributing to a delicate yet complex bouquet.
On the palate, it is refined and balanced, with softened tannins and a silky texture. The acidity remains lively, supporting flavours of stewed red fruits, herbs, and cedar. There is an elegance in its aged profile, with each sip offering a reminder of the wine’s provenance and the slow, beautiful transformation that comes with time in bottle.
This 1965 Barolo from Marchesi di Barolo stands as a testament to the enduring quality of traditional winemaking in the Langhe. Mature, graceful, and quietly profound, it delivers a deeply rewarding experience for those who cherish the nuance and heritage of aged Barolo.
