    • Description

    This 1966 Nebbiolo from Bersano shows the refined elegance and complexity that comes with more than half a century of ageing. The bouquet features aromas of dried cherry, rose petal, tar, leather, tobacco, and subtle hints of cedar, truffle, and forest floor. On the palate it is medium-bodied, with softened yet structured tannins, balanced acidity, and flavours of dried red fruit, earthy herbs, and a gentle savoury minerality. The finish is long, harmonious, and contemplative, reflecting the wine’s mature Nebbiolo character.

    Serving Suggestions
    Stand the bottle upright for 24–48 hours before serving to allow any sediment to settle. Carefully and slowly decant the wine to separate it from the sediment. The cork may crumble or fragment on opening, which is entirely normal for a wine of this age. Serve gently decanted at around 17 °C (63 °F), allowing 30–40 minutes for the wine to breathe. Pairs beautifully with roasted game, braised meats, earthy mushroom dishes, or aged cheeses such as Castelmagno or Parmigiano Reggiano.

    Note
    For wines of this age, the cork may crumble when opening—this is normal and does not affect the quality of the wine. As with many mature wines, individual bottles may show some variation, reflecting their unique ageing journey. The evolved, savoury character of older wines may not appeal to every palate, but for those who appreciate the grace of time, it offers real depth and authenticity.
