The 2016 Rosso di Montalcino is a pleasant, soft Rosso to drink now and over the next few years, while the fruit remains vibrant. Sweet red cherry, crushed flowers and mint linger on the soft, understated finish.

A soft, delicious red with crushed berry and cherry character. Full body, round, velvety tannins and a flavorful finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
The 2016 Rosso di Montalcino offers simple lines with good fruit intensity. The bouquet is redolent of wild cherry, red currant and mild spice or aniseed. Made according to simple winemaking techniques, this wine relies fully on the quality of the excellent fruit in 2016 to produce these lovely but easy-drinking results. Some 220,000 bottles were made.
Dark ruby. Rich cherry fruit with iron hints and garden herbs. A good mouthful of tangy cherry and bittersweet, slightly drying tannins on the finish. Still youthful and needs at least another year in bottle to mellow out and open up. (WS)
