Description
1975 Barolo Riserva — Time-Honoured Pedigree
This 1975 Lanzavecchia Barolo Riserva captures mature Nebbiolo at its most graceful. “Riserva” signals extended ageing before release, concentrating the wine’s savoury depth while smoothing the structure. Five decades on, it pours with poise and quiet power—classic, old-school Barolo.
Tasting Profile — Tar, Roses & Dried Cherry
Expect a brick-garnet core with an orange rim. Aromas of dried cherry, rose petal and orange peel give way to tar, leather, cedar, tea leaf and porcini/truffle. The palate is medium-bodied and silky; tannins are finely woven, acidity bright, and the finish long, savoury and gently spicy. (As with all venerable bottles, natural bottle variation applies.)
Serve with Care — Let It Unfold
Stand the bottle upright for 24–48 hours to settle sediment. Open gently (Ah-So/Durand recommended) and decant lightly for 20–30 minutes—just enough to remove the deposit without over-aerating. Serve at 17–18 °C in large Burgundy stems. A fine sediment is normal.
Food Pairing — Piedmont Classics Shine
A beautiful match for tajarin with truffle, mushroom risotto, slow-braised beef or veal, roast game birds, and aged Parmigiano-Reggiano. For a simple, perfect pairing: good bread, olive oil, and a wedge of Toma or Pecorino.
A 50-Year Milestone Bottle
Ideal for 50th celebrations in 2025—birthdays, anniversaries, or a collector’s dinner. Lanzavecchia’s traditional style and Riserva ageing deliver a bottle with story, elegance and sense of place—made to savour on a special night.
