Description
The 1970 Calissano Barolo is still drinking well after 50 years! Bouquet of Antique teak and leather, this wine has resolved tannins in the mouth with plenty of tar and roses.
Barolo is known as the 'king of wines' and is made from the Nebbiolo grape. Heady aromas of rose, leather, vanilla, cherry, pepper, cranberry, strawberry. Fruits are perfectly knitted with the tannins and acidity. It's a powerful wine but remarkably subtle. Don't underestimate it and certainly serve it with food to show at it's best. Nebbiolo has naturally high tannins and acidity, so it will take on full-flavoured, rich foods no problem at all.
Condition
Good condition - stored in good underground cellar since original bottling.
