Great vintage this 1987 Barbaresco DOCG from the Fontanafredda winery in Serralunga di Asti. This bottle is part of the family collection and was purchased in the early 90's and kept in our temperature-controlled cellar. The recent tasting reviews speak of a special product, suitable for collectors and lovers of vintage tastings. Some more news about this blend and this territory that gives birth to Barbaresco. In the Piedmont region, in northern Italy, the Nebbiolo grape stands high in the hills above the rest. It has two personalities: the dark and brutal wines of Barolo and the elegant and surprising wines of Barbaresco. These Barbaresco wines are often light in color, but full of acidic berry flavors mixed with flavors of dry earth, spice and potpourri. Nebbiolo grapes produce powerful wines. Barbaresco wines are the most feminine and elegant, but they can be just as exciting and uplifting as their neighboring Barolo wines. These wines have a high acidity and tannin, so they are the best after a couple of years of aging. Once bottled for a few years, they reveal invigorating aromas of blueberries and sour cherries, cardamom, potpourri and dry earth. They are generally lighter reddish orange in color, but do not have a light flavor.
Questi vini Barbaresco sono spesso di colore chiaro, ma pieni di sapori di bacche acide mescolati con sapori di terra secca, spezie e pot-pourri.
L’uva Nebbiolo produce vini potenti. I vini di Barbaresco sono i più femminili ed eleganti, ma possono essere tanto eccitanti ed esaltanti quanto i loro vicini vini Barolo.
Questi vini hanno un’elevata acidità e tannino, quindi sono i migliori dopo un paio d’anni di invecchiamento. Una volta in bottiglia per alcuni anni, rivelano aromi tonificanti di mirtilli e ciliegie acide, cardamomo, pot-pourri e terra secca. Sono generalmente di colore arancione rossastro più chiaro, ma non hanno un sapore leggero.
