Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine yourself in the heart of Tuscany, where the hills roll beneath the sun. It is from these landscapes that Poggio Landi's Rosso di Montalcino DOC is born, a wine that whispers the authenticity of its terroir from the very first sip. It embodies elegance and structure, a true expression of the very best that the land of Montalcino has to offer.
This wine takes root in the vineyards perched on the hills of Montalcino, a blessed place where climate and soil combine to magnify the Sangiovese grape. The Poggio Landi estate carefully cultivates this emblematic variety there, allowing it to express itself in all its splendor. Each bottle is the fruit of a story, that of a region and of know-how passed down from generation to generation.
The vinification of this Rosso di Montalcino respects traditional methods. After a maceration on the skins of about 10 to 12 days, at controlled temperatures to preserve the delicate aromas of the grape, the wine begins its journey. It then matures in oak barrels for 12 to 15 months, then refines in the bottle, gradually revealing its unique character. The 2022 vintage, made from 100% Sangiovese, already promises beautiful complexity.
When you pour it, its brilliant ruby red color catches the light. On the nose, you will be charmed by lively notes of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and raspberry, interwoven with spicy and slightly balsamic nuances. On the palate, it shows itself to be generous and perfectly balanced, with a velvety texture that coats the palate. A lovely freshness, carried by good acidity, prolongs the pleasure. The tannins, supple and well integrated, lead to a persistent finish rich in aromas.
This Rosso di Montalcino is the ideal companion for the flavors of classic Italian cuisine. I recommend it with pasta in a hearty ragù, grilled red meats, or characterful salumi. It will also elevate a platter of aged cheeses, where its fruity and spicy notes will find a perfect echo. It is a wine that invites sharing and conviviality, and that can also be forgotten for a few years in the cellar to reveal new facets.
