Guido, simple test, all you will need to do is open the bleeder on the
dragging caliper to see if there is any pressure and that it frees up after
removing the pressure.

+2 on the brake lines
I had similar symptoms with my Dino and when I took off the old hoses and
cut them in half I found there was essentially no lumen. The rubber had
deteriorated and swollen and occluded the hose. This creates exactly what
you describe-- the fluid is slow to get thru the hose so the caliper is slow
to respond, then once it is in there the collapsed hose acts like a one-way
valve to hold pressure in the caliper until it slowly seeps out.

A A A Very recently noticed the left front brake is late to apply and
late
A A to
A A A release, causing significant swerving.
A A A Was thinking it might "limber up" with additional driving, now
A A A wondering if more driving will only make it worse.
A A A Got to Alameda and back + San Ramon and back earlier, both ~100
mile
A A A round trips, no issue.A This started after that.
A A A Am signed up for a multi-hundred mile event on the first, been
too
A A cold
A A A and rainy to do any tinkering.A So maybe I get stranded with a
locked
A A A wheel.A Or the problem just goes away.
A A A Thoughts, predictions, experience ?
A A A Thanks,
A A A GD
