Giulio Ferrari 1997 Riserva del Fondatore, a splendid collector bottle ,that needs no introduction. Probably the best Italian classic method which matures for 10 years on the yeasts before being put on the market. Intact capsule, color and level as in fotos. The purchase of rare and aged distillates and spirits represents an emotion that is not easily described. Owning a small piece of "alcoholic" history of a State is enough for an enthusiast or collector. This includes the possibility that the bottle in question, whether it is wine, grappa, cognac, brandy, whiskey, etc., is not perfect for an excellent tasting(but always possible) and therefore only represents a beautiful collector's item. For this reason from the moment we select and take possession of the bottles, we check every detail before presenting them at auction. But we cannot guarantee the drinkability of a "vintage" bottle. We are sorry but we do not ship to England and the other Islands, as well as to Countries where the importation of alcohol between private individuals is prohibited, such as the USA and Brazil. Thanks for your understanding. We want your bottle to arrive in perfect condition and quickly, which is why we don't save on packaging, choosing those specifically created for wines and spirits, and ensuring shipping where possible. Shipping costs (packaging, transport and insurance) represent the quality of the service offered and to guarantee it, we have chosen one of the best and most reliable international couriers: UPS.
