The Barolo DOCG Abbazia SS Annunziata 1978 is a wine that tells stories of centuries-old vineyards, of the gentle hills of Langhe, and of the time that has enhanced its complexity and depth. This historic vintage showcases a beautiful garnet color, veiled with orange reflections, signifying elegant and well-structured aging. On the nose, it offers an incredibly rich bouquet, where notes of ripe cherries, dried plums, and aromas of wilted roses blend with hints of tobacco, leather, and sweet spices, creating a rare intensity of olfactory panorama.
On the palate, the wine reveals mineral and vibrant characteristics, with silky tannins that support a robust yet not overpowering body. Its well-balanced acidity makes it fresh and lively, leading to a lingering finish, a true embrace that leaves a memorable impression. It pairs beautifully with red meat dishes, braises, or aged cheeses, yet it is also perfect to enjoy on its own, for moments of pure contemplation. The historic nature of this vintage is reflected not only in the glass but also in the emotions it evokes, undoubtedly a “must” for enthusiasts of high-class wines.
