2011 Rosso di Montalcino

The 2011 Rosso di Montalcino Sorgente is a rich, serious wine. Powerful, ripe and layered, the 2011 flows across the palate with superb depth and pure texture. Plum, red stone fruit, spice and new leather notes all add complexity, but the 2011 is above else a wine of sheer power. Readers who want to get a sense of what is in store with the 2011 Brunellos here will want to check out this fabulous Rosso, a wine that outclasses most Brunellos. Even with all of its fruit, the 2011 possesses massive structure and tons of tannic heft. This is just about as serious as Rosso gets. Salicutti releases his Rosso a year later than most estates, so 2011 is the current vintage.
