Description from the seller

Cossetti Clemente & Figli – Barolo & Barbaresco Extra Vecchio 1955 – 3 Rare Vintage Bottles – Piedmont, Italy

An exceptional lot consisting of two historic bottles from the 1955 vintage, produced by Cossetti Clemente & Figli, a traditional Italian wine producer based in Castelnuovo Belbo, in the province of Asti, Piedmont.

The collection includes one bottle of Barolo Extra Vecchio 1955 and one bottle of Barbaresco Extra Vecchio 1955, representing two of the most prestigious and internationally celebrated wines of the Piedmont region.

Dating back more than seven decades, these bottles offer a fascinating glimpse into Italian winemaking during the 1950s.

Both wines are traditionally produced from the noble Nebbiolo grape variety, renowned for its structure, complexity and remarkable ageing potential.

Two Historic Wines from the Same Vintage

Bottle 1 and 2– Barolo Extra Vecchio 1955

Barolo is one of Italy’s most iconic red wines, produced in the Langhe hills of Piedmont.

Historically celebrated for its powerful structure and exceptional ageing potential, Barolo has long been considered one of the great wines of Italy.

This bottle features an attractive original label with traditional heraldic decorations, historic typography and the designation Extra Vecchio, reflecting its period presentation.

Bottle 3 – Barbaresco Extra Vecchio 1955

Barbaresco is another prestigious Nebbiolo-based wine from Piedmont, internationally appreciated for its elegance, complexity and distinctive character.

The bottle retains its original illustrated label, featuring the same historic Cossetti design and the designation Extra Vecchio.

Together, these two bottles form an appealing pair of historic Piedmontese wines from the same year.
