Campo Ai Sassi Rosso Di Montalcino Frescobaldi Vintage 1986 Sweet Wine

Campo Ai Sassi Rosso Di Montalcino Frescobaldi Vintage 1986 Sweet WineFrom the Castelgiocondo estate owned by the Frescobaldi family. The estate buildings, which overlook the village of the same name, were built around AD1100 as a stronghold on the road from the port of Talamane to Siena. It was one of the first estates in the region to produce wine, starting in the early 19th Century. They produce a range on Sangiovese based wines such as this. The 1986 vintage was not a great one for the region, but some good wines

Dark ruby in colour on decanting

Beringer Private Reserve represents the pinnacle of the portfolio

and well-structured

1987 was one of those years
