1967 Fratelli Barale Barolo
The 1967 Fratelli Barale Barolo is a rare, mature snapshot of traditional Barolo from one of the historic families based in the village itself, founded in 1870 by Francesco Barale with long-time holdings in key sites including Castellero, Costa di Rose, Preda, and Bussia. The estate is still run in an old-school spirit by the Barale family (today led by Sergio with his daughters), with an emphasis on classic Nebbiolo structure, long macerations, and élevage in larger, neutral oak rather than flashy new wood. 1967 was a warm, strongly perfumed Barolo vintage that can show surprising finesse and aromatic lift at maturity, and when bottles have been well stored like these, it’s exactly the kind of old Barolo that delivers fully developed complexity with the texture and savory persistence collectors chase. These bottles are in excellent condition, and we only have a single case available, perfect for Barolo fans from this era, as well as a great birthyear bottle for anyone turning 60 next year.
