Known as the younger, more approachable style of the red wines made in the Montalcino area, this Rosso di Montalcino is a very good example of a wine expressive of the typical ‘rosso’ style. Produced using only Sangiovese di Montalcino grapes and aged in Slavonian oak barrels for eight months, the wine is further aged in bottle for a minimum of one year.
It shows beautifully in the glass with its brilliant ruby red colour. On the nose there is a persistent and intense bouquet of fresh fruit and wild berries. It is well-balanced on the palate, with delicately structured flavours of cherry, plum, and red berries.
“Warm vintage for sangiovese in Montalcino and as always Rosso acts as the harbinger for the Brunello that will follow when the Anteprima wines are presented in November of 2026. Consumers will find darker, concentrated and luxe fruit, some but not formidable structure and generosity matched by equal and supportive sweetness in acidity. You can drink this straight away. The overall style really works for Altesino in 2022 Rosso – eventually it is the Brunello that will dutifully follow suit. Drink 2024-2026. Tasted January 2023.”
