Enveloping and bewitching, Rosso di Montalcino DOC is a versatile wine that is well suited to all convivial situations. With an intense ruby red color and explosive aromas, it highlights a bouquet of aromas of ripe red fruits and fresh roses. A full-bodied wine with soft and silky tannins.
Aged in large Slavonian oak barrels for about ten months to impart softness and elegance, it is enveloping, balanced and lively on the palate. The ending is long and
persistent with an acidity that gives excellent verticality. Suitable for pairing with both simple dishes and elaborate foods, it is by its nature a wine to be enjoyed both young and aged.
