A 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.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Best on its own or with simple braised meat and aged cheese; keep accompaniments gentle.

Tasting Profile

Deeply mature Nebbiolo: pale, bricked color, dried cherry, tar, leather, and forest floor, with tannins long resolved. A delicate, contemplative old bottle.
