Tasting notes
The 2005 Brunello di Montalcino may very well end up being the wine of the vintage, while the Rosso reaches a level matched by very few other producers. The 2007 Rosso di Montalcino reveals a vivid core of silky, perfumed red fruit, Medium in body, the wine floats on the palate as raspberries, sweet herbs and spices add further complexity. The bouquet alone is utterly seductive, but pretty much everything about the Rosso is captivating, even if the 2007 is missing some of the richness of the 2006. This is an impeccably refined Rosso will undoubtedly appeal to readers who enjoy traditionally made wines.
