Description
Barolo is known as the 'king of wines' and is made from the Nebbiolo grape. The 1976 Barolo from Pico della Mirandola shows a brick garnet color with pronounced tawny and amber hues at the rim, indicating advanced maturity. The wine appears delicate and translucent, reflecting long bottle aging and a traditionally structured Nebbiolo.
The bouquet is evolved and nuanced, offering aromas of dried rose petals, tar, and red tea, followed by dried cherry, plum skin, and hints of orange peel. With time, tertiary notes of leather, forest floor, tobacco, mushroom, dried herbs, and subtle balsamic tones unfold.
On the palate, the wine is fully resolved and graceful, with softened tannins and moderate acidity providing balance. Flavors of dried red fruits, tea leaf, earthy spice, anise, and savory undertones emerge gently, emphasizing finesse and tertiary complexity over power.
The finish is medium in length, earthy and refined, with lingering notes of dried herbs, leather, and woodland character. Overall, this is a classic, mature Barolo best appreciated for its nuance, history, and quiet elegance, and should be handled carefully and served slightly cool.
