Calissano Barolo Riserva Speciale Vintage 1968

Calissano Barolo Riserva Speciale Vintage 1968An estate sadly no longer in existence. The 1968 vintage was better in Italy than it was in France and the Nebbiolo grape is know for its ling life. At some point in its life the bottle has had a wax cap added, stamped by the estate and a back official back label. Typical blend, Nebbiolo. 75cl bottle. Abv % not stated Bottle condition, capsule looks ok. Covered with wax. Label good. Wine level 3cm below base of cork.

One of the most consistent wines for many years

excellent cork

Capable of long ageing

there were some good wines on the left bank

This pours medium garnet with medium bricking

I think that time has shown that 1979 has turned out to have lasted better than it was originally thought it would

A property that went through the doldrums in the late sixties to mid eighties but since then has fully justified its classification as a Saint Emilion Premiers Grand Cru

St Annaberg is a single vineyard within Herrnsheime in the Pfaiz region of Germany

1953 was an excellent vintage for the region and is now becoming quite rare

Sadly not a great vintage

The acids are somewhat pronounced

Sadly 1974 was not a great vintage
