"Tart berries and crushed stone with rosy florals swirl up from the 2019 Rosso di Montalcino. It’s silky and round in texture, with cool-toned red fruits laced with saline-mineral tones and saturating spice.

Deep ruby red with violet hues. Ample, intense and complex. The pleasant fruity notes of cherry and sour cherry are followed by oak and vanilla hints. Good structure with pleasant and perceptible tannins. Lovely freshness and sapidity, the finish is long, aromatic and persistent.
