Description

1967 Barolo – Contratto (Piedmont, Italy)

The 1967 vintage in Piedmont produced classically styled wines, favouring structure, acidity and steady evolution rather than overt concentration. From the historic house of Contratto, founded in 1867 and long associated with traditional Piedmontese winemaking, this Barolo reflects an era when extended ageing in large oak casks and patient bottle maturation defined the region’s character.

Tasting Notes:
Now showing a mature brick-garnet hue with amber highlights at the rim, the nose is gently evolved and expressive. Aromas of dried cherry, rose petal and redcurrant are layered with notes of leather, tobacco leaf and forest floor. With time in the glass, subtle hints of truffle, cedarwood and warm spice emerge, adding refinement and depth. On the palate it is medium-bodied and harmonious, with softened tannins and a fine thread of acidity that preserves balance. Flavours of dried red fruits, savoury earth and delicate balsamic nuances unfold gradually, leading to a long, elegant and contemplative finish.

Serving & Food Pairing:
Decant carefully to remove sediment and allow the wine to open slowly before serving. Best enjoyed at cellar temperature. A natural partner to braised meats, truffle dishes, game or mature hard cheeses.

Summary:
A rare and characterful Barolo from a traditional Piedmont producer, the 1967 Contratto offers mature complexity and classical Nebbiolo perfume shaped by decades of patient ageing.
