Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine yourself in the heart of Tuscany, where the sun caresses the Sangiovese vines. This Rosso di Montalcino is the very expression of this land, a wine that speaks to you of authenticity and tradition, while offering an accessible and characterful tasting experience.
The Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona estate, rooted in the history of Montalcino since the 17th century, passionately cultivates Sangiovese on world-renowned lands. The Rossofonte, from this privileged terroir, is made from Sangiovese Grosso, the same grape variety that made Brunello famous. It is a rigorous selection of hand-harvested grapes that guarantees the integrity of the fruit and the richness of this wine.
Its vinification combines modern techniques with respect for local traditions. After fermentation in steel tanks, the wine undergoes maceration on lees, followed by 6 to 12 months of aging in oak barrels. The color is an intense ruby red. On the nose, you will discover a rich and enveloping bouquet, dominated by ripe red fruits such as cherry and plum, enhanced by floral notes, sweet spices and a subtle touch of tobacco and leather. On the palate, this Rossofonte reveals itself elegant and balanced. Its tannins are fine and well integrated, supporting a solid structure without aggressiveness. The lively acidity brings beautiful freshness, leading to a long and persistent finish where the fruity and spicy notes linger on your palate.
This Rosso di Montalcino is an ideal companion for traditional Tuscan cuisine. I recommend it with grilled red meats, game or aged cheeses. It is an invitation to savor the complexity and elegance of Montalcino wines, an authentic tasting experience that will transport you directly under the Tuscan sun.
