Antichi Vigneti Propri Barolo Riserva 1966
Antichi Vigneti Propri Barolo Riserva 1966 er en klassisk rødvin fra den historiske producent Giacomo Borgogno & Figli. Vingården blev grundlagt i 1761 og er et af de allerældste vinhuse i Barolo. Huset ligger i selve Barolo-byen og spillede en central rolle i 1700- og 1800-tallet, da Barolo blev udviklet til den tørre rødvin, vi kender i dag. Denne udvikling skete blandt andet med hjælp fra den franske vinmager Louis Oudart. Borgogno er kendt for deres kompromisløse traditionalisme og klassiske botti-lagring, hvilket er en dyb del af appellationens identitet. Vinen er fremstillet og aftappet i producentens egne kældre i Barolo, og etiketten bærer familiens våbenskjold fra 1848 med inskriptionen "Labore cum honore pro patria", hvilket på engelsk oversættes til "Work with honor for the fatherland".
Vinen er produceret i Piemonte i det nordvestlige Italien, en region omkranset af Alperne og kendt for sit enorme fokus på terroir. Nærmere bestemt kommer druerne fra underområdet Langhe sydvest for Alba, hvor de dramatiske, stejle bakker ofte svøbes i tyk morgentåge om efteråret. Dette fænomen beskytter druerne og sikrer en lang modningsproces. Årgang 1966 i dette område har opnået en score på 88 point og beskrives som kompleks og frisk. Vinen er lavet udelukkende på den italienske topdrue Nebbiolo, som er uløseligt forbundet med Barolo og Piemonte. Druen er kendt for at skabe elegante vine med stor struktur, og den trives særligt godt i dette specifikke mikroklima.
I 2008 overgik ejerskabet af Giacomo Borgogno & Figli til Farinetti-familien, som også står bag Fontanafredda. Det moderne ejerskab har dog valgt at bevare husets klassiske stil, så Borgogno fortsat repræsenterer en ubrudt historisk linje i Barolos vinkultur, der strækker sig over mere end to og et halvt århundrede. Denne Riserva-klassificerede vin fra marken Antichi Vigneti Propri står som et vidnesbyrd om husets lange traditioner.
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.
