A gorgeous translucent ruby color, the 2022 Rosso di Montalcino is dark and more intense than most wines in its category. It opens with masses of dried black cherry, smoke traces, grilled herbs and dusty violets. It's creamy in texture yet lifted and refined with a pure core of ripe strawberry complemented by cloves. Rosy inner florals dance throughout. Complex yet giving, the 2022 tapers off potent and long with a tug of fine tannins and autumnal spices. This is a Rosso? My guess is baby Brunello. Bravo.

Winemaker Notes

Elegant and refined with alluring redand black fruits, flowers and mocha in the nose and mouth, this Rosso di Montalcino is made from the younger Brunello vines. It will make a perfect accompaniment to pork dishes, especially with rosemary accents, grilled tuna, pasta pomodoro or bolognese, and/or with fine Italian cheeses.
