VecchioManiero,1966RedWine

Sans

This mature Vecchio Maniero displays a deep garnet core with amber highlights, reflecting over fifty years of careful ageing. On the nose, it reveals refined aromas of dried red cherries, rose petal, gentle spice, leather, and subtle earthy notes of forest floor and tobacco. The palate is elegant and balanced, with softened yet structured tannins supporting flavours of candied cherry, orange zest, hints of truffle, and cedar. The finish is long, layered, and harmonious, showcasing the wine’s depth, finesse, and classic Nebbiolo character.

Decanting: Stand the bottle upright for 2â€? days prior to opening to allow any sediment to settle. Decant slowly and carefully through a fine strainer, allowing 1â€? hours of gentle aeration before serving at 16â€?8°C. A fragile cork is very common with older bottles, where the wine has been in prolonged contact with the cork over many decades. We therefore recommend straining any cork fragments during the decanting process.
