Cabernet La Vinicola del Piave 1966
The 1966 Cabernet from La Vinicola del Piave is a red wine produced in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy. Crafted using a "Naturale" production method and designated as "Invecchiato," indicating a period of aging prior to release, this bottle offers a historical look at the area's winemaking. The wine originates from the Piave area, a zone surrounded by notable winemaking towns such as Conegliano.
Veneto stands as one of Italy's most productive wine regions, with a geographical span reaching from the Alps to the Adriatic Sea. The region is the birthplace of world-famous wines, ranging from the fresh, sparkling Prosecco and light Soave white wines to the renowned Valpolicella. Its signature is Amarone, a powerful red wine crafted from dried Corvina grapes. Within this diverse landscape, which yields everything from elegant bubbles to deep, concentrated red wines, varieties like Cabernet have also established a strong presence.
This 1966 vintage is presented in a 720 ml bottle with an alcohol content of 13%. The original label proudly refers to it as a principal red wine of Veneto, reflecting the historical significance of the Cabernet grape in the local viticulture of the mid-20th century.
