Comment on noteThe wine
Picture yourself in the heart of Tuscany, where every glass tells a story. This Rosso di Montalcino DOC, the Campo Ai Sassi from Frescobaldi, is an invitation to a sensory journey, an authentic expression of the Montalcino terroir that you are going to love discovering.
Montalcino, a name that resonates with wine excellence, is the birthplace of this wine. The Frescobaldi estate, with its rich history and commitment to quality, grows Sangiovese there, the sole grape variety that brings this gem to life. This wine is the fruit of an age-old tradition, of know-how passed down from generation to generation, to offer you the best of this blessed land.
The 2022 vintage of this Rosso di Montalcino reveals itself with an intense, elegant ruby red colour, a promise of fine depth. On the nose, you will be charmed by a complex bouquet: ripe cherry and woodland fruits dominate, enhanced by floral notes of violet. The 12 months of ageing, partly in wood, bring subtle spicy touches and a light vanilla, adding to its personality. On the palate, the Campo Ai Sassi reveals a balanced structure, a perfect harmony between lovely acidity and soft tannins. It is a wine that is both powerful and refined, with a long, persistent finish that will leave you with nuances of red fruits and spices.
This Rosso di Montalcino is an ideal companion for your meals. I particularly recommend it with red meats, whether a succulent bistecca alla fiorentina or other characterful dishes. It also pairs wonderfully with aged cheeses, where its soft tannins and aromatic complexity will marry beautifully. Feel free to pair it with traditional Tuscan dishes such as ribollita or a lovely platter of charcuterie and cheeses for an authentic experience. Whether for a relaxed evening or to accompany a more elaborate dinner, this wine will win you over with its balance and finesse. It is an invitation to savour Tuscany, one glass at a time.
