Then in 1872 he began to work limited quantities of grapes with the support of some partner friends. After a few successful years he branched out on his own, leaving the premises in via Macrino for a building known as casa Richiardi. He heard about a system for processing sparkling wines used in France, known as the “champenoise” method, from Domenico Rossano, the estate manager of the Counts of Neive. Rossano had studied with the French winemaker Louis Oudart, who had been invited to Grinzane by Cavour to supervise the production and ageing of his wines, and Calissano also gleaned information from him about a wine called “Petiot”. He decided to produce this wine, and in 1878 he made no fewer than 100 hectolitres, which he sold in January 1879 – along with 200 hectolitres of wines from the Langhe – to the French company Terrier, who paid for it in gold Napoleons (the French equivalent of the sovereign). The wine was transported by rail in a single shipment, and on that day Alba witnessed for the first time the unusual sight represented by a procession of 50 casks, containing 6 hectolitres each, winding their way towards the station: a procession which would become customary over time. In 1883 Luigi Calissano decided to expand the winery business, though he continued to deal in iron until 1892. He purchased 2,600 square meters of land just outside the town center on the road for Savona, where he started building a new factory which entered into operation in 1885 and would be completed in 1897.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-01-04T14:01:46-05:00","created_at":"2023-01-02T11:16:58-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_Italy","NK3112","other_french wine","other_italian wine","Other_Wine","Producer_Luciano Sandrone","Region_Piemonte","Source_Bestofwines1222","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Nebbiolo"],"price":29999,"price_min":29999,"price_max":29999,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42660086644874,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"1967 | Luigi Calissano | Barolo Riserva Speciale","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":29999,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/23_47c37fce-8298-4e06-abb0-3dfc25061445.png?v=1672676257"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/23_47c37fce-8298-4e06-abb0-3dfc25061445.png?v=1672676257","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"1967 | Luigi Calissano | Barolo Riserva Speciale at CaskCartel.com","id":23890739527818,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.394,"height":1540,"width":606,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/23_47c37fce-8298-4e06-abb0-3dfc25061445.png?v=1672676257"},"aspect_ratio":0.394,"height":1540,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/23_47c37fce-8298-4e06-abb0-3dfc25061445.png?v=1672676257","width":606}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 1967 | Luigi Calissano | Barolo Riserva Speciale\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharacterized by chewy tannins, high acidity, high-tone cherry and raspberry fruit and truffle aromas and flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp; Most Trusted Premium Spirits Marketplace! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatured in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROLLING STONE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMEN'S JOURNAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUS WEEKLY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTICE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Many other small liquor store sites may end up cancelling your order due to the high demand, unavailability or inaccurate inventory counts.  We have partnerships consisting of a large network of licensed retailers from within the United States, Europe and across the world ensuring orders are fulfilled.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Luciano Sandrone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1967\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Nebbiolo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\/Region:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Italy, Piemonte\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetailed Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharacterized by chewy tannins, high acidity, high-tone cherry and raspberry fruit and truffle aromas and flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eProducer Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\nLuigi Calissano used to be a well-known and respected Alba iron merchant in via Macrino, where he was assisted by his three sons: Vincenzo, Pietro and Giovanni.
