The wine

Val di Suga: The living soul of Rosso di Montalcino

Imagine for a moment the softness of the Tuscan hills, the sun caressing the vines. This Rosso di Montalcino from Val di Suga is not just a wine, it is an invitation to feel this land, to savor its most authentic and vibrant expression.

Montalcino, the cradle of an exceptional Sangiovese

The Val di Suga estate, nestled in the heart of Montalcino, passionately perpetuates the winegrowing heritage of this emblematic region of Tuscany. It is here, on blessed soils, that the Sangiovese grape, and more precisely Sangiovese Grosso, finds its noblest expression. This unique grape is the pillar of the identity of Montalcino wines, and Val di Suga is a proud ambassador of it.

As soon as you pour this wine, its intense ruby red color captivates you, a promise of a rich tasting. On the nose, I immediately perceive aromas of cherry and blackberry, interwoven with spicy notes of licorice and black pepper, a bouquet that evokes the complexity of its terroir. On the palate, the tannic structure is soft and enveloping, carried by a sapid acidity that brings a welcome freshness. This wine is the fruit of traditional vinification, with fermentation in steel tanks and maceration on the skins, followed by 6 to 12 months of aging in oak barrels, a perfect balance between wood and fruit.

Delicious pairings and shared moments

To accompany this Rosso di Montalcino, I suggest you turn to the bold flavors of Tuscan cuisine. It pairs wonderfully with red meats, whether grilled or in sauce. A platter of fine charcuterie or aged cheeses will also showcase its structure and aromas. It is a wine that invites sharing, perfect for a dinner among friends or a moment of relaxation where you wish to explore the deep flavors of Tuscany. Let yourself be charmed by its easy drinkability and its typical character of the denomination.
