{"title":"Fiorina","description":"\u003cp\u003eFranco Fiorina belongs to a small club of old-school Piedmont houses whose old bottles still turn up, and still surprise. Based in Alba, it made Barolo and Barbaresco the traditional way and bottled its own wines from 1947.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe method was patient and old-fashioned: long macerations of forty days or more with the cap kept submerged, and Barolo blended from vineyards in several villages rather than bottled by single site. These were built to last, and the bottles we see today come from vintages of the 1960s and 1970s, sometimes under special labels such as the Cavaliere del Tartufo Barbaresco.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAny bottle this old is an adventure: provenance and storage matter as much as the name. Stand it up ahead of time, decant gently off the sediment, and expect the faded red fruit, leather and tea notes of mature Nebbiolo rather than youthful power.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"fiorina-barolo-1971-gfcell-pvt","title":"Fiorina, Barbaresco, 1971","description":"\u003cp\u003eA piece of Piedmontese history: Franco Fiorina was one of Alba's celebrated old-school houses, known for traditional, long-lived Nebbiolo. This is their classic Barbaresco from the 1971 vintage, widely regarded as one of the great Piedmont years of its era. A bottle past fifty years old is a rare window into how these wines evolve, and the well-regarded vintage gives reason for optimism. Approach it as the adventure it is, stand it upright beforehand and decant gently off the sediment, with realistic expectations for a wine of this age.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Private","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45862654181433,"sku":"NYC-[PVT]-PVT-GFCELL-051926-FB1971-ROW274-BOX 79","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Fiorina-Barbaresco-1971-Red-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1780152446"}],"url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/collections\/fiorina.oembed","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
