Rosso di Montalcino DOC

Rosso di Montalcino​ DOC

san fiorenzo

This wine amply exhibits the versatility of Sangiovese, which can produce high-quality results even in a wine less structured than Brunello. This Rosso di Montalcino is matured 12 months in Slavonian oak casks and same amount of time in bottle.
Ruby colour in appearance,  medium-bodied, the nose yields refreshing fragrances of cherry, raspberry and sweet violets. Crisp and lively, with a silky texture and a judicious acidity.
Best with meat-sauced pasta dishes, pork, sauced veal

Like the previous year, 2016 was also ideal for the harvest. The winter was hot and rainy at the end of February which allowed to store enough water reserves for the development of plants. The vegetative phase took place on a regular basis thanks to climatic conditions and rainfall in perfect seasonal average. Warm summer, but without excessive temperature peaks and an excellent day / night excursion.
