Amarone della Valpolicella, 1962
Bertani
This wine is made from grapes harvested in various vineyards located on hills in the Valpolicella zone (Mezzane and Tregnago hills).

Bouquet: notes of vanilla and ethereal airs depending on the period of aging in the barrel; notes of sweet fruits such as currants, blueberries, cherries depending on the varieties of grapes. Flavor: wine with a velvety, raisiny character combined with the structure and typical stylish bitterness to give it good balance. …

Barolo, 1962
Pio Cesare
Barolo is known as the 'king of wines' and is made from the Nebbiolo grape. Heady aromas of rose, leather, vanilla, cherry, pepper, cranberry, strawberry. Fruits are perfectly knitted with the tannins and acidity. It's a powerful wine but remarkably subtle. Don't underestimate it and certainly serve it with food to show at it's best. Nebbiolo has naturally high tannins and acidity, so it will take on full-flavoured, rich foods no problem at all.

Clastidio, 1962
Angelo Ballabio
Born at the start of the century, in 1905, it is one of the most long-established Italian wineries and one of the oldest in the Oltrepò Pavese. To speak of its founder, Angelo Ballabio, today, is to remember a rare man, loved and known as the “local authority” when it came to wine: a kind, simple man of exceptional knowledge thanks to an entire life spent making the best possible wine. He was not one to buy a single bunch of grapes or a single litre of wine. This is testified by the numerous national and international awards received by the Company since long-ago 1911. It is our intention to produce wines that express and exalt the natural distinctiveness of our vineyards. …

Quinta do Noval Nacional, 1962
Nacional- Vintage Port
***98 Points- Extraordinary!***- Robert Parker
***98 Points- Extraordinary!***
Robert Parker Jr. Wine Advocate #107/Oct 1996***
Remarkably, the 1962 Nacional exhibited an even more opaque color than the 1970, as well as exquisite richness and concentration. Massive (but not in the Taylor style), this phenomenally concentrated, complex, still youthful vintage port is a tour de force in winemaking, and one of the greatest, can you believe this, young vintage ports I have ever tasted. This wine needs another 5-10 years to reach full maturity as neither the color nor aromatics reveal much development. It could easily have one-hundred years of longevity. …

1961 Calem Port, 1961

Decanter 2020 Best in Show
Each year, these tawny port wines reveal special characteristics, ever developing whilst they age in the wood casks for a minimum of 8 years. Tawny colour, a smooth bouquet of vanilla, honey and dried fruit. Drink on its own or with your favourite cakes and deserts.
Decanter 2020 World Wine Awards Best in Show Award
Review in Decanter
"This single-vintage tawny port is older than its 40 Year Old Best In Show sibling, but the fact that it is unblended (and has perhaps spent time in glass as well as barrel) gives it a very different character: lighter, more graceful and more fugitive, yet at the same time refined, long, graciously but not cloyingly sweet, and with a succulence and silkiness rarely rivalled by other fortified wines. …

Aglianico del Vulture, 1961
Riforma Fondiaria - Riserva
Aglianico del Vulture 1961 Riforma Fondiaria Riserva
Vintage & Background
1961 is considered a classic year in Italian wine history, particularly for Nebbiolo and similarly age-worthy grapes. Here, the Aglianico grape—the noble red of Southern Italy—is showing what decades in bottle can do when it comes from volcanic soil on the slopes of Monte Vulture. The “Riserva” designation and “Riforma Fondiaria” name suggest extra care, selection, and ageing; this is a wine made to be savoured with patience.
Appearance & Nose
Given its age, you can expect the wine to show a deep garnet centre, but with rim tones tending more toward tawny, russet, or mahogany. …

Amarone della Valpolicella, 1961

1961 Bertani Amarone della Valpolicella
Vintage & Background
1961 is a well-celebrated Amarone vintage, and Bertani is one of the producers traditionally known for elevating the style with elegance, structure, and ageability. Amarone’s winemaking method, with partially dried grapes (appassimento), gives concentration of flavour, high alcohol, and the potential to age into something complex and beguiling.
Appearance & Nose
In the glass this Amarone shows a deep, strong ruby red colour, though now it may have begun to edge slightly toward garnet or brick around the rim with age. …

Banyuls, 1961
Parcé & Fils, Banyuls 1961 - fortified sweet wine
1961 Domaine Parcé & Fils, Banyuls – Fortified Sweet Wine
A superbly mature Vin Doux Naturel from the Parcé family, long regarded as one of Banyuls’ most historic and respected producers. Crafted from Grenache Noir grown on the steep, schist terraces overlooking the Mediterranean, this 1961 vintage captures the depth, warmth, and sea-salted intensity that define great Banyuls.
After fortification to halt fermentation, the wine was aged oxidatively in old casks, allowing it to develop extraordinary richness and complexity over time.
In the glass it shows a deep amber-mahogany hue with glints of copper. …
