Almost all wines are vintage wines and will have the year of harvest somewhere on the label or a neck band. If there's no year anywhere, then it's been bottled as a non-vintage wine and there's really no way to determine how old it is. The wine itself is a Verdicchio, which is a medium bodied Italian white wine that is best drunk young.

Hi Jo Mac, and welcome to the Wine Board. KC is spot on. I like this particular Verdiccio very much and delight that it is widely distributed and sells for around $6 or $7. It makes a dandy aperitif.
