Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine for a moment the gentleness of the hills of Montalcino, bathed in sunshine, where the vine flourishes with a very particular grace. This is where this Rosso di Montalcino from the Cupano estate comes to us from, a wine that, from the very first encounter, whispers stories of terroir and passion to you.
The Cupano estate, nestled in the heart of the prestigious Montalcino appellation, is a true jewel case for Sangiovese. This king of grape varieties finds there a clay-limestone soil, rich in galestro, which gives it a unique vigor and structure. It is this exceptional terroir that shapes the character of this Rosso, offering it a solid foundation to express all its complexity.
The 2022 vintage of this Rosso di Montalcino displays an intense and brilliant ruby color, a true invitation to discovery. On the nose, I first perceive generous aromas of ripe red fruits: juicy cherry, fleshy plum and wild berries intermingle with delicate floral notes. Then, subtle touches of vanilla and tobacco, stemming from well-controlled aging in oak barrels and tonneaux, complete this bouquet. On the palate, the wine reveals itself balanced and harmonious, with soft tannins and a refreshing acidity that give it beautiful liveliness. The maceration on the skins and fermentation in steel tanks allowed all the aromatic richness of the Sangiovese to be extracted, for a result of remarkable elegance.
This Rosso di Montalcino is an ideal companion for moments of sharing and conviviality. I particularly recommend it with rustic dishes that will enhance its flavors. Imagine it alongside a beautiful piece of grilled red meat, a pasta dish with game flavors, or with a selection of aged cheeses. This is a wine that invites discovery, slow tasting, to appreciate every nuance. It embodies the very essence of Montalcino, an authentic expression of tradition and artisanal know-how.
