Rosso di Montalcino DOC

Vintage :

2018

One of the best expression of Sangiovese

Thanks to the unique terroir of Poggio di Sotto, this is a beautiful Rosso that could certainly rival a full-fledged Brunello from some of the best Estates in the appellation. There is a unique level of primary fruit intensity with bold fruit aromas of cassis and wild raspberry with dried berries notes, herbs, spices and cedar. With an attractive concentration on the palate, this wine is complex and deep with a balanced fresh note. Pure elegance with Burgundian finesse.
