Description
1975 Barolo, Giordano
Piedmont, Italy
The 1975 Barolo from Giordano represents the enduring appeal of traditional Nebbiolo from one of Piedmont’s most established family houses. Crafted in the classic style of the period — long maceration, gentle ageing in large Slavonian oak, and bottle release only after years of quiet refinement — it speaks to a winemaking philosophy rooted in patience and authenticity.
In the glass, it shows a transparent garnet core with amber and brick reflections, characteristic of fully mature Barolo. The bouquet is complex and inviting, offering aromas of dried cherry, rose petal, cedar, and tobacco leaf, with evolving layers of truffle, leather, and warm spice as it opens.
On the palate, it is graceful and finely balanced, with softened tannins framing flavours of dried red fruit, balsamic herbs, and earthy minerality. The acidity remains lively, lending poise and persistence to a finish that lingers with subtle notes of tea leaf and forest floor.
The 1975 vintage produced wines of elegance and structure, noted for their capacity to age with refinement rather than sheer power. This example from Giordano captures that vintage character beautifully — a mellow, classically styled Barolo that reflects both the time and the tradition from which it came.
