  • Description

    This mature Nebbiolo d’Alba comes from Salvano Saverio, a historic Piedmontese producer recognized for crafting structured and elegant wines that express the classic character of the Alba terroir. The 1976 vintage displays a deep garnet-red colour with amber highlights, reflecting nearly five decades of careful ageing.

    On the nose, it reveals aromas of dried red cherries, rose petal, gentle spice, leather, and subtle earthy notes of forest floor and tobacco. The palate is refined and balanced, with softened yet structured tannins supporting flavours of candied cherry, orange zest, hints of truffle, and cedar. The finish is long, layered, and harmonious, showcasing the depth, finesse, and traditional Piedmontese elegance of Nebbiolo d’Alba.

    Decanting: Stand the bottle upright for 2–3 days prior to opening to allow any sediment to settle. Decant slowly and carefully through a fine strainer, allowing 1–2 hours of gentle aeration before serving at 16–18°C. A fragile cork is very common with older bottles, where the wine has been in prolonged contact with the cork over many decades. We therefore recommend straining any cork fragments during the decanting process.
