…bottles! Greg is in Italy now visiting Cabanon, a biodynamic producer in Lombardy whose wines he imports. The cousin of the wine maker painted each of these 12 liter bottles (16 normal 750ml bottles! Each must weigh 50 pounds). These massive bottles contain the 2001 La Botte 18, cuoredivino. Greg writes that this Bonarda is only made in “exceptional vintages.”
So does the price per ounce go up in a bottle like this I wonder? One would assume but how often do you need 16 bottles of the same wine? But then again, who wouldn’t want to cackle, “ha! I spit on your little magnum!”
We’ll ask him the prices when he comes back and we catch up with him in The Real Wine World!
