Tasting notes
The 2021 Rosso di Montalcino entices with an orange burst that opens the stage for a mix of medicinal cherries and crushed wild blueberries. This keeps the energy high as it smooths over the palate with texturally ripe red fruits and sweet spice. It finishes long and staining, yet only lightly structured, leaving a licorice tinge that lingers on.

The Poggio Antico 2021 Rosso di Montalcino offers dark cherry and blackberry over a mid-weight presentation and a velvety texture. The wine feels ripe and saturated. The approach works overall, but the alcohol content, measured here at 15.5%, really is too much. It makes drinking more than a few glasses undesirable and is not suited to this entry-level category. This is a 13,000-bottle release.
Ruby plum colour, sweet ripe fruits, rich, nuanced, welcoming, classic Rosso di Montalcino, good typicity. Easy to approach, flash of heat from the ripe raspberry and red cherry fruits, this is effortlessly charming with spiced turmeric and sage notes, alongside underbrush and savoury broth, that keeps things from straying into overly sweet territory. 33ha estate. Aged in 500l oak casks for one year.
