    1977 Barbera d’Alba – Brero

    Large Format – 3.78 Litres

    The 1977 vintage in Piedmont produced classically styled wines, favouring balance and steady evolution. This Barbera d’Alba from Brero represents a traditional era of regional winemaking, where freshness and acidity were central to the style. Presented in a rare 3.78 litre large-format bottle, this example offers not only historic interest but the added ageing stability that larger formats often provide.

    Tasting Notes:
    Now displaying a mature brick-red hue with garnet reflections at the rim, the nose is gently evolved and savoury. Aromas of dried red cherry, plum and redcurrant are layered with notes of leather, dried herbs and subtle earthy spice. On the palate it is medium-bodied and harmonious, with softened tannins and the lively acidity characteristic of Barbera that preserves freshness despite its age. Flavours of dried berry fruits, light balsamic tones and savoury undertones unfold gradually, leading to a smooth, elegant and gently persistent finish.

    Large Format Character:
    Ageing in large format can allow wines to evolve more slowly and gracefully. This rare 3.78 litre bottle adds an additional layer of collector appeal, making it both a striking centrepiece and a fascinating piece of Piedmontese wine history.

    Serving & Food Pairing:
    Decant carefully due to age and volume, allowing the wine time to open fully. Best enjoyed at cellar temperature. A fine partner to braised meats, mushroom dishes, charcuterie or mature hard cheeses.

    Summary:
    A rare and impressive large-format Barbera d’Alba from a traditional Piedmont producer, combining historic character with the added distinction of a 3.78 litre bottle. A compelling acquisition for collectors of mature Italian wines.
