Tasting notes
The 2015 Rosso di Montalcino Sorgente is dried out, faded and harsh. Sadly, there is not much pleasure to be found in this rustic, monolithic Rosso.

Just mid ruby. Subtle, spicy and focused nose that is a little reluctant to open up. Fragrant, perfumed and elegant with cool, ripe cherry notes and fine, persistent tannins that demand more time. Long and multi-layered. (WS)
The 2015 Rosso di Montalcino is made with fruit sourced from the estate's three main vineyards: Sorgente, Piaggione and Teatro. You'll remember that in past vintages the Rosso was identified by its single-vineyard name Sorgente. That is not the case here. This is a beautifully harmonious and chiseled Sangiovese with brilliant tones of blueberry, violets, grilled herb and crushed river stone. The mouthfeel is sharp and decisive with a touch of cherry sweetness on the close. The delivery is linear and clean.
