I just opened a bottle of Barbaresco from 1976. I had this bottle and I have another one that is a Barolo from 1959 as a gift from friends in Italy. I never tasted a wine that is so powerful and remains on your palate for so long and continues to develop even after 30 minutes. Now I don't know what to expect from the Barolo from 1959 :)) I will open that at a more special event.
Dan Alexandru I have a bottle of 1970 Barbaresco from Produtturi del Barbaresco I plan to open this weekend. Hope I have a similar drinking experience. Cheers!
Thank you for your explanations. It helps a lot. Thumps up from #CilentoArea #AlburniMountains #SalernoCity #CampaniaRegion #SouthernItaly I suggest you to give a look at the wines of that area, they are lovely, great wines and there are many autochthonous grapes.
We lived near Chamonix and used to go through the Mont Blanc tunnel and stay near Barolo at Castillo de Novello just up the valley, the Nebbiolo grapes off the vine as we drove down to Barolo were sweet juicy and delicious, maybe I’m biased but I absolutely love Barolo, it’s the greatest of Italian wines, different but comparable to Burgundy premier crus IMO.
Yep, Barolo it's one of the greatest but not the greatest of all to me (yet I admit that at this high level, it becomes a matter of personal taste). My personal podium is: 1 Sassicaia 2 Amarone 3 Barolo and Barbaresco (I can't choose between these two, honestly)
it's not. that's some classic north/south prejudice in Italy that infiltrates everything. The food in the south is said to be better and it probably is
I love this format for learning about wine.
Can never learn enough about wine making and the fine people who do it.

Nice videos
Great introduction about Piemont.
In addition, May I ask what's the music themes during the video?
Best regards
I believe the intro/outro song is called “Le Cercle de la Vie.”
LOL at 9:20
Me watching this drinking cheap wine and eating prefab pizza....
the hard part is that I'm Barbaresco ... 😐
Pretty much everything in 9minutes
Any job vacancy in winery sir ?
Why does food from Piemonte take a "richer and earthier form than foods from farther south"?
it's not. that's some classic north/south prejudice in Italy that infiltrates everything. The food in the south is said to be better and it probably is
What it takes for you to stop overpromoting some regions and go to some less "popular" with goooooood wines? Money? I belive so and i know so!
You can't be surrounded on three sides. Surrounded is al around.
Try being inside a triangular room.
Pronounce d'Alba correctly.
You are telling me that your grandpa said drink it in 25 years. Pure lie and marketing.
Buy this bottle for 100 dollars, but never open it, for the wine is no good.
