This special reserve of Vecchio Samperi began its aging process in 1978, when Marco De Bartoli restored the "perpetual" method or Solera in the Baglio di Samperi, to produce the traditional wine of the area, called locally extravecchio, and from which the Marsala wine originated.
For this purpose he used wines aged in cask, already present inside the baglio, to which every year
he added some wine made by him with overripe Grillo grapes. In this way he obtained a wine with an important alcoholic component.
Marco over the years, according to the tradition of the Solera method, produced some reserves by tapping the wine from the barrels of the lowest level, putting it to age in single oak barrels.
To celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the company's foundation, we decided to bottle one of the first reserves he produced, with an average aging of 40 years.
It is a reserve that has naturally reached almost 18 degrees of alcohol, maintaining its fragrance and unmistakable oxidative style, characteristics that unite the different editions of our Vecchio Samperi.
It is a wine that expresses the great power of the warm limestone lands of our district and the personality of the person who produced it, which, still today, makes its presence felt strong through its first wines.
On the label is represented the image created in 1983 by Prof. Carlo Lauricella, the same artist who created, in 1980, the first label of the Old Samperi and who, with his creativity, has given a great contribution to the graphic image of the winery.
