A piece of Barolo history from the legendary 1989 vintage — Sylla Sebaste's Brunate, thirty-six years old. Brunate, straddling the border between La Morra and Barolo communes, is one of the most prestigious crus in the appellation, capable of wines of remarkable perfume and ageability. This bottle dates from an earlier era of the Sylla Sebaste estate, well before the current Merlo-family ownership took over in 2000. 1989 was a legendary classical vintage in Piedmont — long, late harvest, structured wines that needed decades to come around. After thirty-six years in bottle, a 1989 Brunate from any estate is now squarely museum territory: a window into the era when small, family-run Barolo houses bottled cru wines almost as private statements. Drink with reverence.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Simple and reverent: roast capon, a great risotto with white truffle, hand-cut tajarin with butter, or aged Bra Duro. Older Barolos from prestigious crus want quiet partners.

Tasting Profile

Deeply tertiary: dried rose, dried cherry, leather, tobacco, forest floor, sweet tar. Tannins long resolved, acidity still carrying, finish gentle and perfumed. Pour with care; drink without delay.
