Rosso di Montalcino 2022

Rosso di Montalcino is produced in the Montalcino region of Tuscany, Italy. This area is renowned for its high-quality Sangiovese-based wines and is located south of the famous Brunello di Montalcino production zone.

The wine is made primarily from the Sangiovese grape variety, which is native to Tuscany and known locally as Brunello when used in Montalcino wines.

Rosso di Montalcino is crafted using traditional winemaking techniques focused on preserving the fresh and vibrant character of the Sangiovese grape. The wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks followed by a shorter aging period compared to Brunello di Montalcino, often in a combination of stainless steel and large oak casks. This results in a wine that is approachable at a younger age.
