Description
A 1975 Barolo from Valfieri is an intriguing and distinguished wine, reflecting the classic characteristics of Barolo with the added depth that comes from nearly 50 years of aging. Valfieri is known for its traditional approach to winemaking, and this vintage would offer a glimpse into the evolution of Barolo over time.
The nose would be richly complex and aromatic, with a bouquet developed over decades. Expect classic Barolo aromas such as dried roses, violets, and tar. On the palate, the wine would be smooth and elegant, with tannins that have softened into a velvety texture. The acidity, while mellowed, would still provide balance and structure. The finish would be long and graceful, with lingering notes of dried fruit, earth, and a touch of spice.
Decant the wine carefully to remove sediment, but handle it gently to avoid overexposing it to air, as older wines can be delicate.
