Riviera del Garda Rosso, 1976 — Prandel, Riserva
This mature Riviera del Garda Rosso Riserva comes from Prandel, a traditional Lombardian estate known for producing elegant, age-worthy reds that express the unique terroir of the Garda Lake region. The 1976 vintage displays a deep garnet-red colour with brick-orange highlights, reflecting nearly five decades of careful maturation.
On the nose, it reveals aromas of dried cherries, plum, gentle spice, leather, and subtle earthy notes of forest floor and Mediterranean herbs. The palate is smooth and harmonious, with softened yet structured tannins supporting flavours of stewed dark fruits, hints of cocoa, and delicate herbal nuances. The finish is long, balanced, and elegant, showcasing the depth, finesse, and classic Garda Rosso character of this Riserva.
Decanting: Stand the bottle upright for 2–3 days prior to opening to allow any sediment to settle. Decant slowly and carefully through a fine strainer, allowing 1–2 hours of gentle aeration before serving at 16–18°C. A fragile cork is very common with older bottles, where the wine has been in prolonged contact with the cork over many decades. We therefore recommend straining any cork fragments during the decanting process.
