Nervi Vino Rosso Spanna Stravecchio 1961


Most likely Gattinara vines. This wine had a torn capsule whereby you could see that it had leaked some time ago. The cork was stained from head to toe and dripping with wine. The wine, obviously, was oxidized and sherried. Not sure why I didn't get out the backup. This one we did not drink. No redeeming features. The best thing is that this is the first undrinkable wine for a long time.

Old Italian wines are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get. smile

That's why this is so fun....you never know what you're going to get. I rarely buy three bottles of anything as I'm always wanting to try something new, not go back and drink the same wine multiple times.

Lots of hiking here......I rarely want to go back to the same trail and always want to try a new one. Same idea.

Thanks
