Description
Rosso di Montalcino, like its famous cousin Brunello, is made from the Sangiovese grape grown in the Montalcino region of Tuscany. Whereas its cousin is aged at least four years before release, Rosso can find its way to your dinner table after just one year, which often means it shows more fresh fruit character. The producer suggests pairing this wine with polenta and game bird, or steak Florentine.

Tasting Notes
Rosso di Montalcino is affectionately referred to as 'baby Brunello,' however the quality and production standards for this DOC are stricter than those of many other regions' star wines. While more approachable in its youth than Brunello, the 'baby' should be respected. Expect a cherry-, violet- and licorice-scented wine, with touches of leather and tobacco and refined tannins. Pair it with pasta or steak Florentine.
