About the region

Marche is often called "the new Tuscany" because the landscape is characterized by the same beautiful, rolling hills, but with the great advantage that the region has direct access to the sea. Geographically, it is a series of valleys running perpendicularly from the Apennine Mountains in the west down to the coast in the east. This is where the white Verdicchio and the red Rosso Conero (Montepulciano/Sangiovese) are at home.

Guidance

How it handles
you your wine

Storage

Storage

Store the bottle horizontally at 12–14°C and 70% humidity. Avoid direct sunlight, vibrations, and temperature fluctuations. A wine that has aged for 40 years deserves stable conditions until opening.

Opening

Opening

Allow the bottle to stand upright for 24–48 hours before opening, so that the sediment settles. Use a professional corkscrew and open carefully. An old cork is fragile — turn slowly. Immediately decant into a wide Burgundy carafe.

Enjoyment

Enjoyment

Serve at 17–18°C in a large red wine glass. Decanting for at least 2 hours is recommended — vintage wines from 1985 are at their peak and will open up beautifully with time. Drink within 4–6 hours of opening.

Buy with confidence

Super service and very helpful. Lost one of the bottles during transport and reported it to Bottles With History. It was fixed immediately and a new bottle was sent immediately. (Actually a better wine in my opinion) It is very difficult to guarantee that older bottles are drinkable, like the Barolo from 69 I tried. Anders came to the rescue again and of course sent a new bottle of the same caliber. Thank you very much for the good service, can definitely recommend shopping here in safe hands.
