Tasting notes
The 2020 Rosso di Montalcino reveals fresh fruit flavors of dark cherry, sour plum and cassis. This easy-drinking Sangiovese shows a bit more color saturation and fruit weight compared to its peers; and it's no wonder, because these vines are located in a little basin of land that traps in the sunshine and the summer heat but that also cools down considerably at sunset. If you are looking for an easy Tuscany red with the natural freshness to pair with a pizza dinner, look no further. Production is 25,866 bottles and 400 magnums.

Masses of crushed raspberry, peppery florals and smoky mineral-earth tones create a bouquet that is impossible to ignore as the 2020 Rosso di Montalcino opens in the glass. This is a pure and vibrant yet silky effort that contrasts ripe berries with hints of sour citrus and savory spice. While packed full of zesty energy, it finishes classically dry and persistent, leaving notes of roses and cloves to linger. Give the 2020 another year of cellaring for the full effect and enjoy over the medium term.
