Rosso di Montalcino
DOC
Rosso di Montalcino is a wine with its own unique identity and a strong personality. This wine’s style highlights the freshness and integrity of the Sangiovese from this terroir and balances intensity with an immediate appeal.
Climate trend
The 2008 harvest was carried out in ideal weather conditions. After a rather wet but not particularly cold winter, spring was quite normal, both in terms of temperatures and rainfall. Intervals of rain continued until mid-June, while higher temperatures in June and July alternated with cooler temperatures and further showers.

Awards
Wine Advocate
Darker tones of black cherry, black currant and violet mark this dense yet fruity red, which is firmly structured, lingering with a tobacco note. Best from 2013 through 2018.
Annuario dei Migliori Vini Italiani di Luca Maroni
Licorice and leather accents add complexity to the cherry and cranberry flavors in this tightly structured red. Though firm on the finish, the spice notes linger. Best from 2013 through 2020.
