Antichi Vigneti Di Cantalupo, Collis Breclemae Ghemme, 1989
🏰 The 1989 Antichi Vigneti di Cantalupo Collis Breclemae Ghemme hails from 【one of Piedmont's all-time greatest vintages】, producing Nebbiolo wines of extraordinary depth, structure, and longevity. This Ghemme, from a renowned producer, benefits from vineyards with volcanic remnants in the soil, contributing to fresher and more mineral-driven wines. Expect a deep, powerful, and mature Nebbiolo, with an aromatic profile that continuously evolves in the glass, revealing bright red cherry, dried raspberry, blood orange, rose petal, anise, and dried herb. Underlying notes of iron, crushed stone, damp earth, leather, and truffles add complexity. The palate is firm yet refined, with vibrant acidity and assertive tannins, leading to a super impressive length and balance.
🍴 This powerful and complex red wine is an excellent match for rich Italian dishes such as truffle-based pasta, roasted red meats, game (like venison or wild boar), and aged hard cheeses.
🥂 This is a wine for a truly memorable occasion, a testament to the longevity and grandeur of Nebbiolo. It's perfect for a significant anniversary or a gathering of serious wine collectors. Given its age, the cork and capsule may be fragile. Decanting for 2-4 hours is highly recommended to allow the wine to fully express its complex tertiary aromas and to separate any sediment. Serve at a temperature of 18-20°C (64-68°F).
