Assuming that wine is from Gianni Gagliardo and not one of his less scrupulous cousins, that bottle was worth maybe $80 on release and could be worthless now or a nice party bottle worth maybe $200 at best. Just WHOSE Barbera d'Asti 1990 are you saying is $600? Bologna, Coppo, Conterno????

.....Ribezzo..... It's ok my wine consuming comrade.....I know the value of my bottle. I've surrounded myself with this one bottle.....Ive toured the old vineyard and consumed many glasses of this vintage D'asti ((yum)) Granted, '78 was the vineyard's finest year with an "A+" the following year was still, respectably, an "A"

Dude, do the math: Sr, Gagliardi doesn's make a wine NOW that sells for anywhere near $60 a bottle which might make for a $1000 mondo honking 12 liter. In 1979 Barbera was selling for $2 a bottle if it was Coppo or Bologna, and much less for lesser producers. You are NOT going to get a grand for that bottle when your could buy five cases of the tre bicchieri winning Brumaio from San Fereolo for that with change back......
Get real, Roberto
