Sacile Riserva La Vinicola Cav. Mario Marchesini 1966
The 1966 Sacile Riserva is a red wine produced by La Vinicola Cav. Mario Marchesini. Bottled under the classification Vino Tipico della Zona, this Riserva originates from the area of Sacile in northeastern Italy. The label bears the title "Premiate Cantine," highlighting the historic cellars of Cavaliere Mario Marchesini.
The wine is crafted in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, an area geographically defined by its unique position. The Alps provide a natural shield against cold northern winds, while the Adriatic Sea introduces mild air from the south. Although Friuli is widely regarded as Italy's premier center for white wines—famous for both crisp styles and complex, skin-fermented orange wines—the region also cultivates red varieties that benefit from this balanced climate.
This specific wine is made from Cabernet, a designation frequently used on wine labels as a collective term for the Cabernet family, primarily Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. In northern Italian regions, it has historically been common practice to classify and bottle wines simply as "Cabernet." A wine with this label might consist of pure Cabernet Franc, pure Cabernet Sauvignon, or a blend of the two, and historically, the Carmenère grape was even cultivated and confused with Cabernet in these areas. The Cabernet family has a global presence, adapting well to various climates and soils. While Cabernet Sauvignon is thick-skinned and requires a relatively warm climate to fully ripen, Cabernet Franc matures earlier and thrives in slightly cooler zones.
The 1966 vintage was bottled at 12% alcohol by volume in a traditional 720 ml format.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Friuli-Venezia Giulia
Friuli-Venezia Giulia (often just called Friuli) is considered by many to be Italy's absolute top center for white wine.
Geographically, the region is unique: the Alps shield against cold northerly winds, while the Adriatic Sea sends mild air in from the south. It creates a perfect climate for both crisp white wines such as Pinot Grigio and the complex, stomach-fermented "orange wines" for which the region is world famous.
When this wine was made, the world looked very different. Here are some of the stories that unfolded while this bottle quietly aged in its cellar.
