Wine vintage rating 1962
1962 It rarely happens that two outstanding vintages follow each other like 1962 and 1961. The great quality of the 1962 wines only became apparent after a few years of storage - good wines shouldn't be drunk too young. The year 1962 was dry and warm in Bordeaux and in Italy (Piedmont and Tuscany). Again very good growth conditions led to very nice wines. Very harmonious superseconds (these are 2eme Grand Crus that would deserve to be in the front row) such as Gruaud-Larose, Leoville Las Cases.
Weather in the year 1962
Good filling levels, good wine quality
Of course, the good condition of a wine from an old vintage depends on excellent storage. Above all, the wine must not have frequently changed cellars. Ideally, the wine will have rested in one and the same wine cellar.
But also the cork that sits in each individual bottle is very important. A perfect cork has few pores and keeps the wine stable. If an inferior cork happens to have been used in a bottle, the porous surface will begin to soak up wine and allow micro-quantities of the liquid to evaporate over the decades. Poor fill levels are the result.
A poor fill level therefore also indicates a high risk that the wine bottle could soon begin to leak.
The fill levels explained:
In the bottle neck (high fill to base neck) about 2 cm is perfect for wines.
Top and upper shoulder, ([very] top shoulder), approx. 3 cm is very good for very old wines.
Medium shoulder (mid shoulder), about 4 cm is only acceptable for rare top wines and in individual cases.
Everything below the red line should not be offered any more.

Aglianico is a DOC for red wine in the Italian region of Basilicata - incidentally, it is the only one in the region. The vineyards lie up to almost 700 metres above sea level on the slopes of the extinct volcano Monte Vulture, which gives the region its name, and are divided into around 1,000 small vineyards. Wine has been produced here since time immemorial and was served at aristocratic tables in the Middle Ages. The ruby to garnet-red wine, which is produced in Secco (dry) and Amabile (semi-sweet), is made from a single variety (100%) of Aglianico. The red grape variety was probably brought to Naples from Greece by the Phoenicians as early as the 7th century BC, as indicated by the name (ellenico = Hellenic). It is possible that the variety was used in the red version of the famous ancient wine Falerno. The early sprouting but late ripening variety requires fertile soils due to its strong growth and abundant yield, which it finds there on volcanic soil. It produces deep ruby-red, tannin-rich wines with a strong flavour.

The story begins in 1807, in Paris, when the Marquis of Barolo Carlo Tancredi Falletti married Juliette Colbert de Maulévrier, a French noblewoman and the great granddaughter of the Minister of Finance Colbert by Luigi XIV . Juliette saw the great potential of the wine made in Barolo that, after a complete fermentation and a long aging in wood, would have been able to unveil all the qualities typical of the soil and of the grape variety: Nebbiolo. Since 1970, the Castello has been under local ownership. The winery estate, which is located at the center of Barolo, presently belongs to the Abbona family, which purchased in the late 19th century. The original and distinguished wines produced by Marchesi di Barolo are characterized by a number of highly prestigious native vines and a unique soil composition, with amalgams of clay, limestone marl, blueish marl, tuff, sandstone and sand.

The classical dry red wine comes from the Barolo DOC in Northern Italy, the most important wine region of Piedmont. Prior to the mid-19th century, Barolo was a sweet wine. The fact that the Nebbiolo grape ripens late in October meant that temperatures would be steadily dropping by harvest. By November and December, temperatures in the Piedmont region would be cold enough to halt fermentation, leaving a significant amount of residual sugar left in the wine. In the mid-19th century the French enologist Louis Oudart improve the winemaking techniques of the local producers. Using techniques focusing on improving the hygiene of the cellar, Oudart was able to ferment the Nebbiolo must completely dry, making the first modern Barolo. This new, dry red wine soon became a favorite among the nobility of Turin and the ruling House of Savoy, giving rise to the popular description of Barolo as the wine of kings, the king of wines. La Morra is the greatest and one of the most importants comunes (municipality) for the production of Barolo.
