Description
A 1965 Barolo Riserva Speciale from Ferruccio Nicolello is an exquisite and rare wine, offering a deep exploration into the age-old traditions of Barolo winemaking. After nearly six decades of aging, the wine would have developed a complex profile dominated by tertiary characteristics, reflecting the nuances of time.
Decant the wine gently to remove sediment, but avoid prolonged aeration, as older wines can be sensitive to oxygen exposure. Pairing it with aged cheeses, truffle-based dishes, or roasted game would complement its complexity, though it’s also an excellent wine to enjoy on its own, appreciating the layers of flavour that have developed.
