Tasting notes
Dark, animalistic and nearly feral, the 2021 Rosso di Montalcino is impossible to ignore. Crushed ashen stones, musky red currants, earth tones and grilled herbs can all be found. It's softly textured with a pretty inner sweetness and masses of mineral-drenched red fruits. Grippy tannins define the finale, yet the mouth is left watering for more as this finishes structured yet still remarkably fresh.

A certain richness on the nose, with notes of cherry, leesy notes and saline minerality. Long, sandy tannins and intense but fresh and elegant fruit. Endowed with considerable ageing potential. (WS)
A joyful wine, the 2021 Rosso Di Montalcino is exuberant with poppy aromatics of candied cherry, flowers, and cinnamon and is bursting with notes of ripe mixed berries and fruit cocktail. Medium-bodied, with a soft texture and almost Grenache-like ease, on the palate, it reveals notes of wild raspberry and herbes de Provence. It is a lovely wine to drink over the next 6-8 years.
The entry-level 2021 Rosso di Montalcino opens to sour cherry, dried herb, cola and licorice. This Rosso flaunts an easy-drinking and approachable attitude, yet the wine also has the substance and bright primary fruit to pair with more substantial dishes of grilled meat or ravioli filled with cheese and spinach. Production is 15,000 bottles.
