Rosso di Montalcino

"Dried strawberries and cherries offset by spicy citrus, dusty earth and hints of animal musk create a deeply alluring bouquet on the 2017 Rosso di Montalcino. There are depths of silky textures and concentrated, ripe, dark red fruits here, which gain a tactile feel through salty minerals and brisk acids. This blends the power of the vintage with nervous energy in a way that both satiates and excites the senses, and then leaves a tug of grippy tannins with a note of sweet licorice that lingers long."

"More voluptuous than others. This shows resin, caramel and intense blackcurrant compote. Full-bodied and chewy with the wood showing through. Remains balanced and delicious. Drink now."
