That the trend of a vintage is capable of strongly influencing the organoleptic characteristics of a wine is a notion that has now been learned by everyone.<\/p>\n

But will those historic bottles of Barolo that you have kept in your cellar for years still be good? Will they be worth anything?<\/p>\n

This too depends on the specific vintage: some were so excellent that they had amazing aging potential, others were already uninteresting from the start, and today certainly do not reserve surprises.<\/p>\n

Here is a list of all the vintages from 1951 to 1989: find yours and find out what product you have in your hands.<\/p>\n

Rivers have been signs and nests for civilisation. To me this is a great cultural honor because the ancient cultures were linked to the rivers, and events in history have often happened on water. Rivers have been ways for transports and commerce, and ideas also; from them I learned that things go, but they don't come back. So I have a \\\"liquid\\\" sensibility, and I strongly prefer wine to water. I intensely study it. Either as a producer, in the Renato Ratti firm in Annunziata di La Morra, in the core of the land of Barolo, or in writing and talking (courses of wine-testing, of cooking); the titles of my books are well-known (perhaps because they are difficult to find): Wine-testing (Quaderni del Museo Ratti dei Vini di Alba 1975), Langhe cooking wine (edizioni Antoroto-Mondov\u00ec 1977). I also gather wine labels; my collection is very interesting. It is composed by around fifty thousand labels. In the Langhe, in the land of Barolo I have found a very peaceful life. Massimo Martinelli ------------------------- Sono nato in riva ad un fiume, il pi\u00f9 grande fiume d'Italia, il Po, in un punto in cui \u00e8 gi\u00e0 maestoso ed imponente. I fiumi sono stati i segni e le culle della civilt\u00e0. Per me ci\u00f2 costituisce un grande privilegio culturale essendo le antiche civilt\u00e0 collegate ai fiumi, come le vicende dell'umanit\u00e0 che si sono svolte lungo i corsi d'acqua! I fiumi inoltre hanno permesso rapidit\u00e0 di scambi commerciali e di idee, per questo so che le cose vanno e non ritornano. Ho quindi il senso \\\"liquido\\\" e preferisco decisamente il vino all'acqua. Ad esso infatti mi dedico con accanimento. Sia come produzione, nelle Cantine Renato Ratti all'Annunziata di La Morra, nel cuore del Barolo, sia con scritti o interventi divulgativi (corsi di degustazione, di conoscenza, di cucina), con titoli ormai prestigiosi (anche perch\u00e9 introvabili), quali La degustazione (Quaderni del Museo Ratti dei Vini di Alba 1975), Langhe cucina vino (edizioni Antoroto-Mondov\u00ec 1977). Ed ancora raccogliendo le etichette dei vini, oggetto di collezione che pu\u00f2 essere considerata fra le pi\u00f9 interessanti, con circa 50 mila esemplari. Nelle Langhe, nelle terre del Barolo ho trovato una grande oasi di pace.

Rivers have been ways for transports and commerce, and ideas also; from them I learned that things go, but they don't come back. So I have a \"liquid\" sensibility, and I strongly prefer wine to water. I intensely study it. Either as a producer, in the Renato Ratti firm in Annunziata di La Morra, in the core of the land of Barolo, or in writing and talking (courses of wine-testing, of cooking); the titles of my books are well-known (perhaps because they are difficult to find): Wine-testing (Quaderni del Museo Ratti dei Vini di Alba 1975), Langhe cooking wine (edizioni Antoroto-Mondov\u00ec 1977). I also gather wine labels; my collection is very interesting. It is composed by around fifty thousand labels. In the Langhe, in the land of Barolo I have found a very peaceful life. Massimo Martinelli ------------------------- Sono nato in riva ad un fiume, il pi\u00f9 grande fiume d'Italia, il Po, in un punto in cui \u00e8 gi\u00e0 maestoso ed imponente. I fiumi sono stati i segni e le culle della civilt\u00e0. Per me ci\u00f2 costituisce un grande privilegio culturale essendo le antiche civilt\u00e0 collegate ai fiumi, come le vicende dell'umanit\u00e0 che si sono svolte lungo i corsi d'acqua! I fiumi inoltre hanno permesso rapidit\u00e0 di scambi commerciali e di idee, per questo so che le cose vanno e non ritornano. Ho quindi il senso \"liquido\" e preferisco decisamente il vino all'acqua. Ad esso infatti mi dedico con accanimento. Sia come produzione, nelle Cantine Renato Ratti all'Annunziata di La Morra, nel cuore del Barolo, sia con scritti o interventi divulgativi (corsi di degustazione, di conoscenza, di cucina), con titoli ormai prestigiosi (anche perch\u00e9 introvabili), quali La degustazione (Quaderni del Museo Ratti dei Vini di Alba 1975), Langhe cucina vino (edizioni Antoroto-Mondov\u00ec 1977). Ed ancora raccogliendo le etichette dei vini, oggetto di collezione che pu\u00f2 essere considerata fra le pi\u00f9 interessanti, con circa 50 mila esemplari. Nelle Langhe, nelle terre del Barolo ho trovato una grande oasi di pace.
