Tasting notes
A bright ruby color, the 2022 Rosso Di Montalcino is refined and pretty on the nose, with a rosy perfume of fresh raspberries, dark wet stones, and fresh herbs slowly revealing itself. Medium-bodied, it is bright and linear with fine tannins and is going to need some time to flesh out. I have tasted several older vintages of this wine recently and found that they really start to show their best after a couple of years of extra time in the bottle. Drink 2025-2035.

Francesco Ripaccioli normally releases this wine earlier than his Brunellos. But this year, it's nice to be able to taste the estate's entire line together. The Canalicchio di Sopra 2022 Rosso di Montalcino boasts a beautiful bouquet with lots of energy and punchy freshness. The quality of the fruit is bright and vigorous with wild cherry, cassis and violet. Those sweet fruit notes are balanced by just a hint of toasted spice. I would put this bottle on a short list of my favorite new Rosso releases. Production is 33,000 bottles.
Lustrous mid ruby. Perfumed, deep cherry nose with a hint of complex oak and just the beginning of tobacco leaf. Lush, succulent fruit and polished tannins on the palate. Long and deep and clearly from a hot year, but well balanced. Overachiever. (WS)
