1977 Wine and Port Vintage

Barone Ricasoli *** BIG BOTTLE OF 5,0 LITRES with wooden support ***

Chianti, 1977 – Barone Ricasoli
Imperial Format – 5.0 Litres with Wooden Support

The 1977 vintage in Tuscany produced traditionally structured wines, favouring balance and gradual development over immediate generosity. At the heart of Chianti’s history stands Barone Ricasoli, one of Italy’s most historic estates and widely credited with shaping the original Chianti formula in the 19th century. Wines from this era were crafted for steady ageing, with Sangiovese at their core and extended maturation in large oak casks. Presented here in an impressive 5.0 litre format, complete with its wooden cradle, this bottle reflects both the heritage of the estate and the celebratory tradition of large-format Chianti. …

Moillard

Now entering its fifth decade, a mature Crozes‑Hermitage Moillard typically presents a pale garnet hue with tawny edges. Expect secondary and tertiary aromas—perhaps subtle autumnal notes like dried cherry, forest floor, leather, and earth. On the palate: medium-bodied, with softened tannins and delicate fruit flavors. The character is likely gentle, savoury, and nuanced—charming in its nostalgic authenticity, rather than a tour de force.

Salvano Saverio

A native black grape variety of Northern Italy grown almost exclusively in the provinces of Cuneo and Alessandria in Piedmont. It is relatively easy to cultivate, although it is susceptible to fungal diseases. It ripens before Barbera and Nebbiolo and is often grown in high north-facing sites which would be unsuitable for Nebbiolo. The finest Dolcetto wines come from grapes grown on soils rich with white marls, especially those found on the right bank of the River Tauro. The wines generally are low in tannins and acidity and are usually fruity and fragrant, often with hints of almonds.

Vintage Port- MAGNUM
Presented in Dows Wooden Gift Case

Please note that this is a rare magnum format (1.5 L)
Medium cranberry red center and slight bricking on the edge. Intoxicating floral fragrance that filled the room, during its nine hour decant; accented by anise, plum and raspberry notes and a bit of spirit. Fresh, fleshy grape, dark cherry and fig flavors melded with underpinnings of licorice, chocolate and warming spirit. It's developing into a stunning middle-aged Port at 34 years of age, with little signs of nearing peak yet. Rich and multi-faceted, smooth and velvety ... even more so the second day it was opened. The acidity was near perfect and the tannins are tame but omnipresent; while the finish was spicy, warm and extremely long. …

Vintage port

Reviews
Very pale mahogany red, watery in texture and weak rim. On the nose are cranberries and brown sugar with just a touch of sweet pea perfume. Wonderful sweetness in the mouth, with golden sultanas over the tart dried cranberries. The tartness is lovely and balances out the sweetness of the wine very well. There is so much complexity in the mid-palate that you can hold this wine in your mouth for ages, but eventually you have to swallow. And when you do there is an explosion of flavour which, after a brief flare of heat, works itself into a very long black licorice and aniseed aftertaste. …
