Description

A Traditional Nebbiolo from Piedmont
The 1988 Nebbiolo Cantine Prandi offers a rare opportunity to explore a mature expression of one of Italy’s most revered grape varieties. Cantine Prandi, a traditional producer based in Piedmont, is known for crafting honest, classically styled wines that reflect the purity and finesse of Nebbiolo. This bottling is a true testament to the region’s dedication to authentic, terroir-driven winemaking.

A Vintage of Structure and Balance
The 1988 vintage in Piedmont was marked by a warm and consistent growing season, producing wines with good concentration, ripe fruit, and firm yet balanced tannins. It is a vintage celebrated for its classic structure and potential for long-term aging, with many wines still showing vitality and complexity decades later.

Evolved Aromatics and Harmonious Palate
After more than 35 years, this Nebbiolo presents a pale garnet color with orange hues at the rim — a hallmark of aged Nebbiolo. The nose is complex and expressive, with aromas of dried red cherry, rose petals, tobacco, leather, and earthy underbrush. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, with softened tannins and a persistent acidity supporting elegant, savory flavors. The finish is long and refined, offering a beautifully matured profile.

Serving and Pairing Recommendations
Older Nebbiolo should be handled with care: stand the bottle upright for a few days to allow sediment to settle, and decant gently just before serving. Serve slightly below room temperature (around 17 °C) to best showcase its delicate aromatics. This mature Nebbiolo pairs wonderfully with dishes such as truffle pasta, mushroom risotto, braised meats, or aged cheeses, complementing its earthy and floral complexity.

A Collector’s Hidden Gem
The 1988 Nebbiolo Cantine Prandi is a rare and charming find for collectors and lovers of traditional Piedmontese wines. It represents a classic, elegant style that emphasizes grace over sheer power, providing a contemplative and authentic tasting experience. A beautiful choice to mark a special occasion or to share among enthusiasts who appreciate the nuanced beauty of mature Nebbiolo.
