2018 Rosso di Montalcino

The 2018 Rosso di Montalcino is heavily perfumed and quite unique, more like an exuberant bouquet of dusty flowers and spice more than wine. Hints of wild strawberry, black tea and white pepper come forward over time. It’s soft in textured, showing a pure display of red berries and subtly sweet spice with masses of inner florals. This is very clean and fresh, tapering off with a flourish of violets and lavender. I wouldn’t think Rosso while tasting this, yet it’s still quite enjoyable.
