    1975 Barbera, Umberto Fiore

    Piedmont, Italy

    The 1975 Barbera from Umberto Fiore is a charming and beautifully preserved example of traditional Piedmontese winemaking from an era when Barbera was valued for its purity, freshness, and everyday nobility. Crafted in the classic style — fermented in large oak casks and aged slowly to soften its natural acidity — it reflects both the authenticity of the grape and the house’s long-standing dedication to elegance and balance.

    In the glass, it displays a mature brick-red colour with orange highlights, revealing its age with grace. The bouquet is fragrant and gently evolved, offering aromas of dried redcurrant, cherry, sweet herbs, cedar, and a touch of leather, alongside subtle earthy notes of mushroom and spice box.

    On the palate, the wine is silky and medium-bodied, with the once-vibrant acidity now perfectly integrated. Flavours of dried raspberry, fig, and balsamic warmth unfold gradually, framed by soft tannins and a lingering finish of dried fruit and warm earth.

    The 1975 vintage in Piedmont was classically styled, producing wines of balance and modest strength that aged with quiet dignity. This example from Umberto Fiore stands today as a graceful and nostalgic reflection of old-world Barbera — humble, expressive, and unmistakably true to its roots.
