And without further delay:<\/p>\n<p>Detail from the back label:<br \/>\n&#8220;&#8230;.Barolo will naturally produce a sediment as it matures. Before Borgogno will export any of their mature wines, each bottle is decanted from this sediment, checked, and then topped up from the same vintage and recorked. For this reason the corks in the olders wines will be new, but the quality has been guaranteed by the producer before shipment.
