{"product_id":"barolo-giordano-1976","title":"Barolo Giordano 1976","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 1976 Barolo Giordano is a classic Italian red wine originating from the prestigious Piedmont region in northwestern Italy. Literally translating to \"at the foot of the mountain,\" Piedmont is surrounded by the Alps and is globally recognized for its profound focus on terroir. Within this region lies the Barolo area, situated in the steep, dramatic hills of the Langhe southwest of Alba. The 1976 vintage in this area is described as warm and ripe, earning a score of 87 points on the 100-point scale. During the autumn, the hills of the Langhe are often enveloped in a thick morning fog, which protects the vineyards and ensures a long, perfect ripening period for the grapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine is crafted from Nebbiolo, an Italian top-tier grape variety renowned for producing elegant wines with great structure. Nebbiolo is deeply tied to the identity of Piedmont and is the exclusive grape used in the production of Barolo, which is widely celebrated as one of Italy's great classic red wines. The grape thrives in the specific microclimates of the Langhe, drawing unique characteristics from the local soils.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCasa Vinicola Giordano S.p.A. is an Italian wine house with historical roots in Piedmont and the Langhe area dating back to the early 1900s. Rather than operating as a small single-vineyard estate, Giordano built its modern business on direct sales, particularly expanding during the post-war era through mail-order distribution. This commercial structure allowed the house to gather grapes from various producers and vineyards under its umbrella, bringing Italian wine to a broad international audience. The 1976 Barolo Giordano holds the Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC) classification and was bottled directly in the production zone in Alba.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Giordano","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57587068731718,"sku":null,"price":240.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1562_ed12abd4-f090-4670-ab36-ec7fef5cf87e.jpg?v=1791885616","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.eu\/products\/barolo-giordano-1976","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
