Tasting notes
Probably from the 50’ or older. Brown/amber colour. This juice was clear as the only one of these old Sardinian gold-wines. But the
bottle had been standing for more than 4 months. Again beautiful nose, yet it lacks a little the intensity of the others. The core are
fine floral notes, hints of nuts, old dust and some salt. Less flor than previous bottles. Powerful and dry in the mouth. Mature and
lighter weight. The fruit seems more mature. Cleaner and fruitier taste. Fine florality, huge depth. Medium acidity. Yet a refreshing
taste. Dry finish with the alcohol showing a little. Very long taste. Fantastic food-wine. Great wine. Drink now.

Ho una bottiglia di vernaccia del 1968, desidererei sapere se mi conviene conservarla o se dopo tanti anni ha perso le sue caratteristiche.
Grazie e scusate il disturbo.

1968
Do you have some more info on the names on the label of your bottle?
I had a bottle of the Sardinian gold 1968 some days ago. It was a great bottle that was very much alive. So if it is a Sardinian gold you are in for a great wine with lots of flor-character, if it is properly stored. I will post a note on the '68 today.
But it should be a Vernaccia di Oristano. There are other vernaccias out there that are not related to the Oristano-grape. For example the San Gimignano. Which itself is a good wine, but do not age that long.

Good luck.
