An exceptional lot consisting of 3 historic bottles of Poderi Valfieri Barolo Riserva 1955, produced in Marengo di Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy.

Dating back to 1955, these remarkable bottles are now 71 years old, representing a fascinating surviving example of traditional Italian winemaking from the mid-20th century.

Barolo is one of Italy’s most celebrated red wines, produced from Nebbiolo grapes in the Langhe region of Piedmont and internationally renowned for its structure, complexity and exceptional ageing potential.

This remarkable lot offers collectors the opportunity to acquire three matching bottles from the same historic 1955 vintage, complete with their distinctive original labels, capsules and decorative neck tags.

The 1955 vintage dates back to a fascinating period in Italian winemaking, long before Barolo received its modern DOC and DOCG classifications.

Finding bottles from this era is increasingly uncommon, particularly when offered as a matching set of three.

These bottles retain several distinctive features of their original presentation:

* Traditional illustrated labels featuring a historic cellar scene
* Original-style capsules and neck seals
