The oldest bottle of Brunello in our cellar

I went down to the cellar the other day at Il Poggione and took this photo of the oldest bottle labeled "Brunello" in our library. Today, our estate is known as Il Poggione but in the 1930s, the labels read Franceschi after the family name of the owners.
