Vecchio Samperi Perpetuo Marco De Bartoli
To make Vecchio Samperi, the De Bartolis use the ancient perpetuumaging method (similar to Solera system) that, through the addition of some new, young wine to wines that are already being aged in barrels, allows to create a harmonious blend of different vintages, with a unique and inimitable taste.
