This Rosso di Montalcino is a classic Sangiovese with elegant, soft tannins, fresh acidity and a fruity core of cherry and strawberry wrapped in a mineral, lightly peppery character. The ripe, restrained tannins mean that you shouldn't serve it with the very heaviest dishes, but instead with dishes of moderate richness and good flavour intensity, where the acidity can cut through the fat and refresh the palate. Think lighter meats, mushrooms and tomato-based pasta, where umami and gentle tartness play up against the wine's structure, along with a firm cheese that softens the tannins.

About the wine

This lovely Rosso could easily be mistaken for a Brunello if served blind. The quality is truly high!

The aroma offers fruity notes of cherry and strawberry, along with a hint of black pepper.

The taste is warm and soft with elegant tannins. The aftertaste is mineral, long, and incredibly tasty.

The Vigna Camponovo and Vigna dei Piani vineyards, dedicated to Rosso di Montalcino, consist of a mix of clay and sand, located at an altitude of 250 m with a southwest exposure. The vines are 30 years old.

The harvest took place on September 13 and 14, 2022. All picking is done by hand. Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 23 degrees for 20 days. About 20% of the grapes are fermented in whole clusters, with partial carbonic maceration.

The wine is then aged in large Slavonian oak barrels of 20 hectoliters for at least 6 months and at least 4 months in the bottle before release.

Certified organic.
