- davidssssss - 07-31-2005 Looking through a box, I came across a 1958 red Barolo. Is this wine good? The label is faded, but here is what I can see...The wine has not been stored properly and seems cloudier at the bottom than the top. 1958 QUALAGA GARANTIGA BAROLO SELEZIONE UNVE??????????? Lorenzo Bertolo = ?orino Thank-You - wineguruchgo - 07-31-2005 Hello David, Welcome to the wineboard! The cloudyness at the bottom is to be expected with a wine that old. The wine actually begins to decompose and creates sediment. Unfortunately, even if it was a spectacular year for Barolo, because it hasn't been stored with perfect conditions there is no market for resale and I would be really hesitant to drink it. Know anyone born that year? Might be a neat display bottle. Sorry I couldn't give you better news. |
