Note di degustazione
The 2017 Rosso di Montalcino impresses with a display of blackberries, cherries and balsamic spices, all lifted up by mentholated herbal tones. It’s creamy in texture and medium in body yet contrasted by tart wild berries, minerals and brisk acids. This becomes almost salty through the finale, along with a subtle coating of fine tannins. The 2017 shows the intensity and warmth of the year, yet it finishes on balance. That said, drink this dark beast of a Rosso sooner rather than later.

A pretty Rosso di Montalcino that shows dark cherries, spices and dried herbs. Medium body, fine tannins and a bright finish. Drink now.
Mid ruby. Sweet strawberry fruit on the nose and supple strawberry fruit on the palate, but it is a little too tame for my taste and could do with more tension and depth. (WS)
The 2017 Rosso di Montalcino is a simple and straightforward wine that goes into wood for six months and into bottle for another four months before it hits the market. You get great value with a wine like this, which offers pristine primary fruit followed by grilled herb and moist potting soil. In all, you get all the best qualities of stripped down Sangiovese produced in a warm vintage. However, don't underestimate the wine's structure, because you do feel those integrated tannins at the back. The fruit is cheerful and bright. Bottle production is 24,800 units strong.
