Rosso di Montalcino 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 ripe red fruits and fresh roses. A full-bodied wine with soft and silky tannins.
Aged in large barrels to impart softness and elegance, it is enveloping, balanced and lively on the palate. Produced from grapes coming from slightly younger plants, it has a pleasant freshness which particularly affects drinkability and a long and persistent finish.
To be paired with both simple dishes and elaborate foods, it is by its nature a wine to be appreciated both young and aged.
