Description
1977 Barolo – La.Da. Rivoli (Piedmont)
The 1977 vintage in Piedmont produced classically structured Barolos, favouring balance, acidity and steady evolution. This bottling from La.Da. Rivoli reflects a traditional era of regional winemaking, when extended ageing in large oak casks and patient bottle maturation were central to the character of Nebbiolo.
Tasting Notes:
Now displaying a mature brick-garnet hue with amber highlights at the rim, the nose is gently evolved and savoury. Aromas of dried cherry, rose petal and redcurrant mingle with notes of leather, tobacco leaf and forest floor. With time in the glass, subtle hints of truffle, cedarwood and warm spice emerge. 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 smooth, 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 mature and characterful Barolo from a traditional Piedmont producer, the 1977 La.Da. Rivoli offers classical Nebbiolo perfume and savoury complexity shaped by decades of bottle age.
