Grape

Sangiovese

Origin
This wine comes from vineyards on the slopes surrounding Montalcino in Tuscany. The area is known for production of Brunello, a dark-skinned, low-yielding clone of Sangiovese, although the Rosso is made from the fruit of the younger vines, for a lighter style.
Taste
Ruby red in colour, with an intense nose of ripe red berries, and the toasty scent of 12 months in barrel. Mellow and well rounded, with a smooth mouth-feel and satisfyingly chewy tannins.
Enjoy
Drink with rare grilled beef steaks and portabello mushrooms.

Press Reviews

  • Dripping with elegance (2010 Vintage)

    "From the beautiful town of Montalcino, this is a lovely Italian red with fresh cherry flavours as well as some savoury spiciness. Dripping with elegance, it’s expensive but well worth the price tag. The perfect partner with rigatoni with tomato and basil. (Jamie Goode, The Sunday Express, 16th September 2012)"

  • Elegant, sweet tobacco aromas (2010 Vintage)

    "Rosso is the earlier drinking kid brother of Brunello di Montalcino, but that doesn't mean you should drink it young. Beneath the elegant, sweet tobacco aromas here, there's a meaty, gamey character, red fruit concentration, acidity and fine but firm tannins. You can drink it now, but you could put it away for another five years (The Wine Gang, www.thewinegang.com, July 2012)"
