The vintage in Italy.
Italy in this cellar means two places above all: the Langhe, where Nebbiolo ripens late on marl hills and a Riserva can spend seven years in cask before release, and Bolgheri, where Cabernet sits close enough to the Tyrrhenian for the sea to moderate the summer.
Mario Incisa della Rocchetta planted Cabernet at Tenuta San Guido in the 1940s for his own table, and the 1968 was the first vintage sold. The 1985 remains the greatest Italian wine of its era, with a perfect score.
Condition is described before anything travels: fill level, label, capsule and original case, bottle by bottle. If you have not bought an older bottle before, our note on fill levels explains what those words mean and what they are worth. The 1988 leaves storage once, insured and temperature-controlled, for your home, your cellar or your account at a bonded warehouse in Switzerland.
