Barbaresco Pio Cesare 1967
Barbaresco Pio Cesare 1967 er en rødvin fra det nordvestlige Italien, fremstillet udelukkende på druen Nebbiolo. Vinen kommer fra vinhuset Pio Cesare, der blev grundlagt i 1881 af Cesare Pio. Han brød med datidens normer ved at tappe sin vin på flaske frem for at sælge den i fade, hvilket blev startskuddet til et af Piemontes mest definerende vinhuse. I hjertet af Alba fører trapperne ned til husets historiske vinkælder, hvis vægge daterer sig helt tilbage til romertiden omkring år 50 f.Kr.
Vinen er klassificeret som en Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC) og stammer fra Barbaresco, et klassisk Nebbiolo-område i Langhe øst for Alba. Området er en del af den prestigefyldte Piemonte-region, der er omkranset af Alperne og kendt for sine dramatiske, stejle bakker og et enormt fokus på terroir. Her svøbes landskabet ofte i tyk morgentåge om efteråret, hvilket beskytter druerne og sikrer en lang modning. Årgang 1967 har opnået en score på 85 point og beskrives som en moden, klassisk og drikkeklar årgang fra området.
Pio Cesare drives i dag af femte generation, som fortsætter traditionen med at bygge bro mellem historiske metoder og modernitet. Huset var desuden blandt de første italienske producenter, der i 1950'erne begyndte at eksportere seriøst til Storbritannien. Nebbiolo-druen, som vinen er baseret på, er en af Italiens absolutte topdruer og den bærende kraft i vinene fra Piemonte. Etiketten på denne flaske bærer husets historiske medaljer fra udstillinger i blandt andet Asti, Torino og Bruxelles omkring århundredeskiftet, samt et eksportsegl fra 1955, hvilket vidner om husets lange og anerkendte historie.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Piedmont
Piedmont (which literally means "at the foot of the mountain") is located in northwestern Italy, surrounded by the Alps. It is considered one of the world's absolute most prestigious wine regions. The area is known for small, passionate, family-run wineries and a huge focus on terroir (how the soil and microclimate affect the wine).
Classic characteristics of Piedmont:
The royal wines: This is where the world-famous, complex and expensive red wines Barolo and Barbaresco come from (both made from 100% Nebbiolo).
Everyday heroes: In addition to Nebbiolo, the region is famous for the grapes Barbera (juicy, acidic and incredibly popular) and Dolcetto (dark, soft and fruity).
The white and sweet: Piedmont also makes the crisp white wine Gavi and the famous, lightly sparkling dessert bubbles Moscato d'Asti.
The landscape: Dramatic, steep hills – especially in the Langhe sub-area. The hills are often shrouded in thick morning mist in autumn, which protects the grapes and allows for a long, perfect ripening.
Gastronomy: An absolute mecca for food lovers. The area is world famous for the exclusive white truffles from Alba, hazelnuts and rich, simmered dishes that scream with a glass of local red wine.
Da denne vin blev lavet, så verden meget anderledes ud. Her er nogle af de historier, der udspillede sig, mens denne flaske stille ældes i sin kælder.
