Bevute Vintage (6): Rossi anni '80

We go back in the years to enjoy some more great wines: this time the reds of the 1980s when Italy and France ruled. 

Those now in their 50s look back with nostalgia to this decade and to come across a fine bottle from those years is an true emotional experience. Today these bottles are hard to come by, especially if they have been kept well, but when conditions are perfect they still maintain their youth and integrity.
