1964 Cantine Villadoria Barbaresco Riserva Speciale (jute cover)

A bottle of 1964 Barbaresco Riserva Speciale from Cantine Villadoria. The bottle is wrapped in hessiam burlap, and seal with red wax, and with an italian coin embedded in the wax.

Having begun as a nursery selling rootstock and cuttings to estates in the Langhe in the late 1800s, Villadoria established itself as a bona fide producer of fine Barolo and Barbaresco in 1959 in the heart of Serralunga d'Alba. This example of the excellent 1964 vintage from the winery's early days is still drinking beautifully, as most well-stored '64s tend to do.

Note a light wear to the label and hessian burlap covering. The fabric cap is attached to the bag, and the wax seal is not cracked. We cannot guarantee the wax seals will not break further if shipped.

The fill level is not visible.

Note the absence of a condition statement does not imply that this lot is in perfect condition or free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of ageing. Older bottles often contain small amounts of sediment. We cannot guarantee that the contents of this bottle will be free from the effects of age, cork taint, oxidation or other faults.

This bottle does not appear to be leaking. While we take every care to pack bottles securely we cannot guarantee that old corks and closures will not leak in transit.
