  • Description

    The 1967 Barolo by Giacomo Damilano is a legendary vintage from one of the most esteemed producers in the Piedmont region. Reflecting over five decades of aging, this wine encapsulates the unique capacity of Barolo to evolve and gain complexity, offering an exceptional sensory experience for collectors and connoisseurs.

    Tasting Notes:

    Appearance:
    A delicate garnet hue with noticeable orange-brick tones at the rim, indicating its extended maturation.

    Aroma:
    The nose is extraordinarily nuanced, with layers of dried roses, violets, and tar leading the charge. Secondary notes of dried cherries, balsamic, forest floor, and tobacco add depth, while tertiary characteristics such as leather, antique wood, and spice box bring a sense of refined maturity.

    Palate:
    The wine is incredibly smooth, with softened tannins that create a velvety texture. Flavors of dried red fruits, figs, and orange peel are beautifully integrated with earthier notes of truffle, licorice, and herbs. A subtle smokiness and minerality emerge towards the finish, which is remarkably long and complex.

    Food Pairing:
    Best enjoyed as the centerpiece of a special occasion, it pairs exquisitely with aged cheeses, truffle-infused dishes, and game meats. Alternatively, savor it alone to fully appreciate its intricate layers.

    Cellaring Potential:
    This vintage has aged remarkably well and is likely at its peak or slightly beyond. It should be consumed soon to enjoy its full expression of maturity, ensuring it is decanted gently to separate any sediment.
