Everything You Need to Know About Rosso di Montalcino
Rosso di Montalcino is the “little brother” of the legendary Brunello di Montalcino; it, too, is made from Sangiovese Grosso grapes grown on the hills of Montalcino in Tuscany. It offers a lighter, more accessible expression of this grape variety.
With a shorter aging period than Brunello, Rosso di Montalcino showcases the Sangiovese’s aromas of cherry, violet, and tobacco in a supple and immediately appealing style. It is often the best introduction to the great Brunello, at much more reasonable prices.
