Tasting Notes

The 2020 Rosso di Montalcino is deep, dark and almost sensual in the glass, as black cherries and minty herbs give way to hints of worn leather and spice. It coasts along the palate with silken waves of ripe red berries, coming across as supremely soft and pliant, yet all kept in balance by saline-tinged acids. Rosy florals and hints of liquorice linger, as the 2020 tapers off fresh yet potent and long. This is an elegant beauty. Tasted January 2022. Eric Guido for Vinous
