Description

The 1965 Barolo from Seri Battista Borgogno is a rare collector’s bottle, reflecting a traditional era of winemaking in Piedmont. Borgogno is a historic name often associated with classic, long-lived Barolo, made using extended maceration and aging in large neutral oak. Though not as widely known as some of the region’s major houses, wines bearing the Borgogno name—particularly from this period—are deeply traditional and often surprisingly resilient.

In the glass, the wine likely shows a pale garnet color with strong orange and brick hues on the rim, signaling full maturity. The bouquet would now be dominated by tertiary aromas: dried roses, tar, forest floor, antique leather, and soft spice. With time in the glass, subtle notes of dried cherries, cedar, and balsamic might emerge.

On the palate, this Barolo is expected to be delicate, with softened tannins and moderate acidity still providing some lift. Flavours may include dried red fruit, earthy mushroom, and hints of licorice and tobacco, leading into a graceful, lingering finish. At nearly 60 years old, the wine has likely moved far beyond its primary fruit phase into a soft, layered structure.

While 1965 was not a particularly outstanding vintage in Barolo, a well-cellared bottle from a traditional producer like Seri Battista Borgogno can still deliver elegance and a profound sense of place. It's less about power or precision at this stage and more about quiet complexity and historical resonance—perfect for seasoned collectors or Nebbiolo purists
