Rosso di Montalcino
Rosso di Montalcino is a DOC wine made exclusively from 100% Sangiovese grapes, grown within the same area as Brunello di Montalcino in southern Tuscany. Often referred to as the “younger brother” of Brunello, it shares the same grape variety and terroir, but is aged for a shorter period, making it more accessible, fruit-forward, and versatile.
It combines the elegance and structure of Brunello with a fresher and more immediate drinking style, often enjoyed young but capable of developing complexity with a few years of ageing.
