    Self Life of these 8 wines
    My wife and I received 8 bottles of wine for our wedding gift and I would like to open one each year on our Anniversary but we're afraid they won't last. Could someone tell me the shelf life of the wines below when kept in a dark place with a temp of roughly 65F?

    2005 Vendemmia - MASI campofiorin - Ripasso Nectar Angelorum Hominibus

    2004 Valpolicella - Denominazione di origine controllata CLASSICO Nicolis

    2005 Amarone della Valpolicella -Denominazione di origine controllata CLASSICO Bolla

    Gold Label RUGGERI & C. - valdobbiadene prosecco extra dry D.O.C.

    2006 PAGGIO Delle Venezie Pinot Grigio

    2006 Borgo Magredo Friuli -Denominazione di origine controllata - Grave Pinot Nero

    2006 Lugana -Denominazione di origine controllata - San Benedetto - Zenato

    2001 Zonchera - Denominazione di origine controllata e garantita - Barolo Zonchera bottled by Ceretto in Alba

    Thanks

    Hello dmbjbb : congrats with your wedding.

    I do not know any of these specific wines.

    In very general : shelf life of wines :

    Red wines can be kept for many years. Most of the better wines improve with age.
    Rose wines can be kept for a couple of years.
    White wines are better consumed within the first few years.

    Here is a LINK to a website with advice on keeping wines !

    Success !

    :)

    Some of the wines you mention are already passed their prime. What year did you get married ?

    The Valipolecella should have been consumed a long time ago.

    We were married in OCT 08 and the wines were originally wines that we had tasted on Feb 1st 08 from a tasting at North Hampton Wines Greenville Sc
