Description

Colour: Deep garnet with pronounced amber hues at the rim, showing its age gracefully.

Nose: Expressive bouquet of dried rose petals, autumnal forest floor, and tar. Delicate notes of leather, truffle, and a hint of dried cherry emerge with aeration, alongside subtle undercurrents of earthy herbs and tobacco.

Palate: Medium-bodied, silky texture, with remarkable freshness for a wine of its age. Flavours of dried plum, red cherry compote, and forest floor are framed by fine, integrated tannins. A whisper of orange peel and mineral tension adds complexity. The finish is long and elegant, lingering with hints of leather and dried fig.

Assessment: The 1971 Bersano Special Reserve demonstrates extraordinary ageing potential and a refined, evolved character. Though mature, it retains energy and aromatic clarity, offering a nuanced, contemplative Barolo experience.
