Tasting notes
A pretty mix of crushed cherries, roses and sweet spice wafts up from the 2020 Rosso di Montalcino. This is a pure and lifted expression with pleasantly ripe red fruits that mix with sour citrus and savory herbal tones to create lovely contrasts. Its minerality comes forward through the licorice-tinged finale, along with a gentle grip of fine tannins that frame the experience quite nicely. Ciacci did a fantastic job with their 2020 Rosso.

Sweet cherry and floral character with some orange-peel undertones. Light-to medium-bodied with firm tannins and a persistent, focused finish. Drink now.
The Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona 2020 Rosso di Montalcino hits all the right buttons, especially if you are looking for an easy-drinking Tuscan red to pair with you next pasta with home-cooked tomato sauce. Candied cherry, tart raspberry and sweet almond appear on the bouquet, along with lavender and wild rose. This is a terrific entry-level effort from a hot vintage, with 56,000 bottles made.
