Comment on noteThe wine
I invite you on a sensory journey to the heart of Tuscany with this Rosso di Montalcino DOC. It is a pure and vibrant expression of Sangiovese, a wine that will speak to you of tradition and passion, while retaining astonishing freshness.
This wine was born on the blessed lands of Montalcino, an emblematic appellation of Tuscany. The Croce di Mezzo estate carefully cultivates Sangiovese there, the sole grape variety that gives this Rosso all its typicity. The 2021 vintage testifies to the youth and liveliness of this wine, crafted with fermentation in steel tanks and maceration on the skins, to extract the purest essence. It then benefited from aging of at least one year, refining its aromas and structure.
From the very first glance, its intense red color catches your eye. On the nose, you will discover a harmonious aromatic bouquet: notes of fresh red fruits such as cherry and strawberry mingle with floral touches of violet and light spicy nuances. On the palate, this Rosso di Montalcino reveals a balanced structure, with supple tannins and well-integrated acidity that underscores its freshness. It is a round and approachable wine, but one that never forgets to tell you about its terroir.
This Rosso di Montalcino is an ideal companion for your meals. I recommend it with red meats, aged cheeses, or to accompany typical dishes of Tuscan cuisine. It will also be perfect with pasta in meat sauce or grilled white and red meats.
Serve it preferably between 16 and 18°C so that it reveals its full aromatic palette. It is a wine that invites conviviality, perfect for tasting moments with friends or family dinners. It will let you discover the authentic spirit of Sangiovese wines, a true gem of hidden Tuscany.
