Notes | |||
"An old traditional wine that is fresh and velvety, the grapes for the Rosso di Montalcino come partly from the same vineyards dedicated to the production of Brunello and partly from more recently planted vineyards. Pure Sangiovese with fruity aromas, notable structure and persistence, it is both an elegant and very versatile wine." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"Ripe, dried currants with some dried raspberries and strawberries to the nose follow through to a medium- to full-bodied palate. Tight and chewy tannins carry the ripe berries to a medium-length finish. A little jammy. Drink now." —James Suckling |
