Italian wine producers want to celebrate the 2015 vintage - which looks set to be of unusually excellent quality - with a special "reserve" label. The idea is to set aside more wine from 2015 for the "reserve" (which is of superior quality and carries a special label) than in other years.
The "reserve" label is in a way a barometer of quality, considering that it usually involves particularly valuable grapes, while in difficult years, no reserve is usually produced. Of course, not all of the types of wines can be involved, but the reds meant for aging like those from Piedmont, the Amarone from Veneto, and the Tuscan greats all will be candidates.
