Wine vintage rating 1978

What was the vintage 1978 like?

1978 In the Bordeaux wine region, the weather in the first half of the year was unsatisfactorily cold and then too wet, but when it mattered, August turned to be warm and dry. Elegant, classic red wines were produced if they were not harvested too early for fear of new rain. Château Cheval Blanc waited until October 9th to start harvesting and produced one of the best wines of 1978.
Burgundy had an excellent 1978 vintage, rather weighty and aromatic. In Italy, especially in Piedmont, temperatures were higher in 1978 and one of the best vintages of the 1970s emerged.

Weather in the year 1978

The beginning of the year in particular was cool. Sometimes there was frost damage to the vines in the northern wine regions.

The slower pace of growth was offset by the low precipitation weather. The grapes were able to ripen in peace.

The second half of the growing cycle became warmer and it remained dry. In the northern Italian growing areas, the temperatures even rose above average.

Good filling levels, good wine quality

The fill level of an old vintage wine reveals important information on the drinkability of the wine.
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.

Wine rating

Do you have a 1978 vintage in your wine cellar and would you like to know how much it is worth?

Here are a few tips: in order to still have any value, the bottle must be leakproof. The wine must not be cloudy. It should be of good quality (not supermarket wine).

Search for the wine online without specifying the vintage. If it is a well-known winery, you will find the wine immediately and also the price you have to pay for the current vintage. If the current wine costs from EUR 20.00 upwards, that's a good sign.

The filling level is decisive for the value. Upper shoulder to base neck is required. Medium shoulder is only acceptable for extremely rare, already valuable wines.
SW18821 1978 Valtellina Superiore Riserva Vigna Paradiso
Valtellina

The Lombardy region lies in North-Central Italy, between Piedmont to the west and Veneto to the east. It is not known, at least worldwide, for winemaking. But that doesn’t mean it lacks tradition or quality – in fact, production dates back to early Greek settlements on the Po River. And more recently, Franciacorta has become Italy’s finest producer of sparkling wine. The main red grape here is Nebbiolo. The very same noble variety of the Piedmont, of King Barolo and Queen Barbaresco. How it came to be in these far reaches is unclear, but it thrives just the same, albeit differently. The wines are aged for a number of years in large, old oak followed by a number of years in bottle before release.

All Chianti wine is classified as  DOCG  (i.e., Guarantee of the Origin and Quality of Selected Wines); however, each Chianti is different and its characteristics vary according to its territory of origin and winemaking tradition.The blend of grapes is always the same, though the percentages vary: Sangiovese (75-90%), Canaiolo (5-10%), and Malvasia del Chianti (5-10%). The perfect recipe was developed by Baron Ricasoli in the 19th century, with the later addition of Trebbiano Toscano. So deeply rooted is this method that Tuscan wine growers plant their varying grapevines together in the exact proportions needed to make the wine.

Valtellina

Sfursat, or Sforzato, is obtained from hand-made selection of the best bunches of Nebbiolo-Chiavennasca grapes, which are dried on wooden racks in a well ventilated and dry room, a "fruttaio", until late January. This treatment leads to a high concentration of natural sugars and special aromas. The dehydration of the grape varies between 35-40%, the berries are dry and their concentrated juice has developed specific and very intense aromatic substances. The vinification process consists of soft pressing of the grapes and subsequent fermentation. A 2 to 3 year ageing in oak casks and a final 6 to 12 month bottle refinement give this red wine its uniqueness.

The area is separated from Château Lafite-Rothschild in Pauillac to the south by the Jalle de Breuil stream and ist vineyards cover around 12 km² on the banks of the Garonne. The layers of gravel on top of clay lead to comparatively poor drainage, and the harvest is one of the latest of the whole region, although this water retention can be of use in vintages of low rainfall. Apart from the famous Grand Cru Classés there is a particularly high concentration of very good Cru Bourgeois in the Saint-Estèphe appellation, on the plateau south and west of the village.
