The Barolo DOCG "Oreste" 1970 from San Quirico di Massano represents a sensory journey into the heart of the Langhe, one of Italy's most celebrated wine regions. This historic vintage, characterized by favorable climatic conditions, has resulted in a wine of extraordinary complexity and persistence. The Nebbiolo grape variety, from which it is made, expresses itself through a rich and enveloping bouquet of withered roses, wild blackberry, and delicate hints of licorice, with tertiary notes developed from long maturation in oak barrels.
On the palate, the Barolo "Oreste" reveals elegantly integrated tannins, a solid structure that shines through with vibrant freshness, ensuring perfect balance. Flavors of truffle, mushrooms, and a subtle earthy undertone lend depth to each sip. This wine is an ideal companion for rich dishes such as Barolo braised beef or ravioli al plin, but it can also be enjoyed on its own, inviting slow and pleasant contemplation. Perfect for special occasions, the 1970 Barolo from San Quirico di Massano is not just a wine, but a story of history, passion, and tradition, representing the very essence of a timeless territory.
