The grapes for this Rosso di Montalcino come from 25-year-old vines that thrive on the hills of Montalcino. The "little brother" of Brunello di Montalcino is a pleasant wine that can already meet high standards. Intense ruby red; elegant floral bouquet followed by slightly spicy notes; very good structure, pleasant, nice balance and harmony; Excellent with starters with meat sauces, soups, roasts and well-matured cheeses, excellent with a classic carpaccio. Just like big brother Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, we find the Rosso di Montalcino in the heart of Tuscany in central Italy. The DOC was founded in 1984 to recognize the majority of grapes from younger vineyards and new plantings. The idea was to make a wine with a fresher style and significantly less aging time (one year of which only six months in oak) than the Brunello. This would already give producers some revenue from the sale of younger wine while waiting for the Brunello to mature - for 5 years on the estate. Today the wine is praised for its distinctive taste with great depth. Black and wild berries dominate, while a subtle interplay between oak, spices and vanilla leaves a recognizable mark. This full-bodied wine is made from 100% Sangiovese (specifically the local 'Grosso' form). The Rosso di Montalcino is a vital wine that is based on freshness and structure. As a result, he can make many gourmets happy at a young age.
