Description
The Barolo DOC 1976 Pico della Mirandola is a rare historic red wine from the Langhe region in Piedmont, Italy. Produced from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, it reflects the traditional Barolo style of the mid-1970s: structured, austere in youth, and designed for very long bottle aging with slow, gradual evolution into complex tertiary aromas.
Tasting notes:
The 1976 vintage is now fully mature and deeply evolved. The nose opens with aromas of dried rose petals, sour cherry, dried plum, leather, tobacco leaf, forest floor, and truffle-like earthy notes. With aeration, additional layers of dried herbs, spice, cedarwood, and balsamic nuances emerge.
On the palate it is elegant, fully resolved, and harmonious, with tannins now completely softened and integrated. The natural acidity of Nebbiolo still provides structure and lift, while the fruit has transformed into savory, dried-fruit, and earthy expressions. The finish is long, refined, and gently austere, typical of well-aged Barolo from this era.
Serving & food pairing:
Best served at 16–18°C, with very gentle handling and minimal or no decanting.
It pairs well with:
Braised beef
Roasted veal or lamb
Game dishes (wild boar, hare)
Mushroom risotto
Truffle-based dishes
Aged hard cheeses
Producer:
Pico della Mirandola was a traditional Piedmontese producer associated with classic Barolo winemaking in the mid-20th century. Wines from this period reflect a cellar-oriented philosophy, focused on long aging, structural integrity, and the expression of the Langhe terroir through Nebbiolo.
