92 “Spiced and earthy with ripe red and dark fruit and hints of walnuts and cocoa. Medium- to full-bodied and dry with firm tannins. Polished, velvety aftertaste.” – James Suckling

A more accessible version of the Brunello, but already showing excellent structure and a great personality. 100% Sangiovese generally from the estate's younger vineyards, this particular Rosso di Montalcino is aged in a mix of large French oak casks and barriques before bottle aging. The time in barrel, not obligatory for the production of Rosso di Montalcino, tones down the tannins typical of young Sangiovese, giving this red wine a complexity of aroma and structure that make it a great "Young Brunello.”
