Overview:
The Col d'Orcia 2020 Rosso di Montalcino is a beautiful expression of Sangiovese, sourced from the winery’s estate vineyards located in the heart of Montalcino, overlooking the scenic Orcia River. This wine captures the essence of its terroir, benefiting from the unique microclimate of the area. With an average altitude of 250 meters above sea level, the vineyards yield grapes that are perfectly suited for crafting this elegant yet robust Rosso. Made from the same Sangiovese grapes as the renowned Brunello di Montalcino, it offers a delightful balance of freshness, fruit, and complexity.
Tasting Notes:
This Rosso showcases a deep ruby red hue with violet reflections, leading to a complex and ample bouquet. Aromas of cherry and sour cherry are enriched with woody and spicy notes. On the palate, the wine is elegant and smooth, with ripe tannins and a delightful texture. The aftertaste is persistent and fruity, leaving a lasting impression. A youthful, yet grippy tannin structure adds to its aging potential, while the subtle finish is marked by refreshing sweet minty herbs. Enjoy the balance of savory elements, with hints of umami and candied berries as it unfolds in the glass. Pair this medium-bodied red with a variety of hearty winter dishes such as prosciutto, salami, or roast pork. The wine's vibrant acidity and rich fruit complement these savory meats perfectly, creating an exceptional meal experience. Ideal for drinking over the next several years, it can be enjoyed now or cellared for further complexity.
