It is a good price, but with wine that old, you have to really be into tertiary characteristics. And a wine that old will be very much a product of its storage and the particular cork that happened to be jammed inside it. So it’s a bit of a gamble. Please do report your impressions.My supplier for fine liquor in Milan also does wine. Haven't the foggiest clue of where to start but I did notice Gaja Barbaresco 1961 for 180eur -- is that a good price for that stuff?
The old ones were a perennial favorite of mine- I went through multiple cases of the '70, '81, '86. and '88. Weird wines in a good way.

I buy Ruffino, Valpolicella and Chianti as a general rule because that's all I know. What are some other Italian wines and regions worthy of purchasing?Probably will focus on Italian wines as that's what they seem to have the best access to

Ahhh righto... Barlo Barlendino is a old fav I forgot about out.I like my Barolo and Barbaresco too but that's as much as I know.
Nicosia is one of the worst and least reliable producers in Sicily. Planeta is average—neither good nor bad, just another wine like many others.These are new at my wine shop from Sicily. View attachment 416212
Winemaker : are these export brands ? are you familiar w/ these producers ? Both are affordable
