Born, raised and evolved in parallel with Fattoria Poggio di Sotto’s epic red label Brunello di Montalcino, Rosso di Montalcino can easily compete with many other Brunellos thanks to the uniqueness of Poggio di Sotto’s terroir and the great expressive yield of Sangiovese.

Produced from grapes with low yields carefully selected several times and harvested by hand in the vineyards of Castelnuovo dell’Abate, insistent on mixed soils protected by the reassuring profile of Monte Amiata at altitudes varying between 200 and 450 meters above sea level, Rosso di Montalcino keeps its large legions of admirers and enthusiasts waiting for a shorter aging period than Brunello but still significant when compared to entry-level wines from other producers, amounting to 24 months in 30-hectoliter oak barrels and a further 6 months in bottle before release to the public.

Concentration and complexity are evident already at a first visual-olfactory examination: forest fruits such as raspberry and black currant alternate with cedar, pepper, juniper, and aromatic herbs, motivating the taster to delve deeper and deeper into the examination while enjoying the emotions given by an increasingly oxygenated wine.

Tasting confirms the premise and perhaps exceeds expectations, delivering a fresh wine with softened tannins that demands time to be well understood and explored in all its wonderful facets.

Rosso di Montalcino confirms itself as a refined expression of the territory that firmly insinuates itself in the furrow traced by the great work of this winery, where quality, attention to raw materials, tradition and full understanding of the expectations of its customers blend well into an unforgettable melody played by an orchestra that has been making history in Montalcino for some time now.
