Description

The 1955 Saluti Luciano Barolo is a rare and captivating expression of one of Piedmont's most celebrated wines, crafted during a golden era of traditional winemaking. Representing the elegance and power of aged Nebbiolo, this vintage encapsulates the unique character of the Barolo region and the artisanal practices of its time.

In the glass, the wine displays a radiant garnet hue with soft brick-orange edges, a hallmark of its remarkable age and maturity. The nose is a treasure trove of aromas, offering dried cherries, rose petals, and violets, intertwined with earthy notes of truffle, leather, and forest floor. Subtle hints of licorice, tobacco, and aged balsamic add depth and sophistication, creating an aromatic profile that evolves with every moment.

On the palate, the 1955 Saluti Luciano Barolo is a masterpiece of balance and refinement. Medium to full-bodied, it boasts a velvety texture, with tannins that have softened beautifully over the decades. Flavors of stewed red berries, dried herbs, and savory spices unfold gracefully, complemented by an undercurrent of tar, cocoa, and a touch of mint. Its vibrant acidity provides freshness, leading to a long, harmonious finish marked by elegance and complexity.

This vintage represents a timeless connection to the heritage of Barolo and the artistry of its producers. For collectors and enthusiasts, the 1955 Saluti Luciano Barolo offers a rare opportunity to experience the profound beauty and enduring excellence of Nebbiolo at its finest.
