Following on from our post covering the investment opportunity of Amon-Ra, we turn our attention to a wine that many people hold closer to their hearts than their wallets.

Duemila Dievole La Nativita (Chianti Classico) is a very special 1998 Tuscan vintage. On the 17th of November 1999, in a private audience with winemaker Mario di Dievole, Pope John Paul II gave his blessing to La Nativita whilst in barrel.

Thankfully we have managed to acquire a small collection of this holy wine. The question now is how long can we hold onto these 1500ml treasures before Pope John Paul II is beatified and declared a saint by the Roman Catholic Church. We’re raising our glasses, but sparingly - there isn’t much to go around!
