Description

1983 Barolo – Umberto Fiore (Piedmont, Italy)

A fully mature, classical Barolo that trades power for perfume and savoury finesse. Brick-garnet with a broad tawny rim, it opens on dried cherry and cranberry, rose petal and violet, with cedar, leather and sweet tobacco, plus hints of orange peel, tea leaf and a gentle tar/balsamic lift. Mid-weight and silken on the palate: lively, old-world acidity carries red-cherry fruit, dried herbs and subtle undergrowth; tannins are fine and resolved, the finish tapering with cherry skin, cedar spice and dried flowers.

Producer note: Umberto Fiore is a historic Langhe house/bottler long associated with traditional Nebbiolo raised in large old casks—elegance, aromatic lift and graceful ageing.

Serve: 16–18 °C. Stand upright 12–24 hours; very gentle decant for sediment just before pouring.
Food pairing: Roast chicken with herbs, tajarin with butter and sage, porcini risotto, aged pecorino.
