Gattinara A. Berteletti Vintage 1976

Berteletti, a traditional Piedmont producer known for crafting structured, long-lived wines from Nebbiolo grown in the volcanic soils of the Gattinara appellation at the foothills of the Alps.1976 was not one of the best years for the region

Typical blend, Nebbiolo. 75cl bottle. Abv 12.8%

Bottle condition, capsule good, label good, wine level 3cm below base of cork.

Alive and very interesting, yet certainly over-mature.
Colour is good for the age, with a thick band of brown at the rim, but still good claret body of decent depth.
Bright nose, yet with mushrooms now joining the red cherry in the foreground. A touch of fennel in the background.
Quite feisty / sherbety acidity vies with the cherry on the palate, with mushroom / caramel sitting behind, and with a touch of ferrousity on the finish. No noticeable tannins.
Overall the acidity does unbalance the wine a little, yet that same acidity has preserved this rather well. Better with food, but the acidity isn't so strong as to preclude carrying on drinking the wine after the meal.
