Negrar

The Valpolicella zone is bordered to the west by the Bardolino DOC, located along the banks of Lake Garda, which produces similar wines to basic Valpolicella using many of the same grapes. The historical "heart" of Valpolicella winemaking is in the Monti Lessini hills located northwest of the town of Verona. In 1968, the boundaries of the region were extended far eastward towards the DOC production zone of Soave and south to the plains of the northern bank of the Po river and its tributary the Adige.

Marchesi di Barolo

This wine from the good 1966 vintage is made with the long lived Nebbiolo grape. this is a black-skinned red wine grape variety most famous for creating the 'tar and roses' scent of Barolo wines from Piedmont, north-western Italy. The grape's very name is evocative of its home among the misty foothills of the western Alps; the nebbia (Italian for 'fog') after which it is named frequently arrives on early October mornings, when the Nebbiolo harvest is in full swing.

Vintage Port

Viera de Sousa 1966 Vintage Port is a rare and fascinating wine from one of the more under-the-radar but deeply respected family-run Port producers. The Viera de Sousa family has been involved in winemaking in the Douro Valley for generations, though their name has gained broader recognition only more recently. A 1966 vintage from them represents not just a well-aged Port, but a beautiful piece of family heritage and old-school craftsmanship.

The 1966 vintage itself was a declared year and widely considered excellent — not quite as powerful as 1963, but producing wines of superb elegance, structure, and ageing potential. …
