Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine yourself in the heart of Tuscany, where the hills roll under the sun. I invite you to discover a wine that embodies this land with understated elegance, the Rosso di Montalcino DOC from Tenuta Pian delle Vigne. It is a pure and authentic expression of Sangiovese, a gem for your moments of sharing.
This wine is born on the lands of Tenuta Pian delle Vigne, a property of the Marchesi Antinori, located about six kilometers southwest of Montalcino. Here, the calcareous and clayey soil offers Sangiovese, grown in purezza, the ideal conditions to express all its finesse. It is in this privileged setting that the grapes of the 2024 vintage were harvested, promising beautiful freshness.
The vinification of this Rosso di Montalcino is a precise art. After destemming and gentle pressing, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 28°C. Then, the wine benefits from about ten months of aging, just the right time for it to develop its character without losing its liveliness. In the glass, it reveals a bright, radiant red color. On the nose, you will be charmed by notes of ripe red fruits, such as cherry or raspberry, accompanied by subtle spicy nuances and a light hint of humus that brings a touch of complexity. On the palate, you will discover a balanced, medium-bodied wine. The tannins are present but not overwhelming, offering a pleasant texture, while beautiful freshness supports the tasting without ever weighing it down. This wine favors clarity and finesse, far from opulence, for a direct and refined experience.
To fully appreciate this Rosso di Montalcino, I suggest serving it at a temperature between 16 and 18 °C. A brief decanting can be beneficial to open up its aromas. It will pair wonderfully with pasta dishes with meat-based sauces, grilled or roasted red meats, and even aged cheeses. It is the ideal companion for your informal dinners, bringing a touch of Tuscan authenticity to your everyday table.
