Vintage is a real thing, even if OIP don't think so
Terrible experience with 'Solo Prodotti Italiani' via Vivino. This is the third time I have purchased from them, and for the third time, they have sent completely different vintages than those ordered. Out of 18 bottles (6x3 types), NOT A SINGLE ONE was correct: I ordered 2023 whites and received 2024; I ordered 2019 Teroldego (red) and received 2022!
The difference between a 2019 and a 2022 Teroldego is massive: the 2019 is a classic, balanced, and ready-to-drink vintage; the 2022 is from a very hot year and the wine is still too young, harsh, and far below the value of the vintage I ordered. Shipping 'young' wine instead of an aged vintage is a clear tactic to dump less valuable stock on the customer.
Unfortunately, they are repeat offenders: in the past, they even substituted a white wine with a completely different label without any prior communication. Their service is careless, non-transparent, and deeply unprofessional. If you are looking for precision and respect for wine, stay away: here, the listed vintage is purely 'suggestive.' I will be reporting this behavior to Vivino support as well. Never again
