Comment on noteThe wine
Today I invite you to explore a more intimate side of Montalcino, far off the beaten path. This Rosso di Montalcino from the Tassi estate is a gem, a pure expression of Sangiovese that whispers the story of this Tuscan land. It is a wine that speaks to you, that tells you about its origin with discreet elegance.
We are in Montalcino, a mythical appellation where Sangiovese reigns supreme. The Tassi estate, with its rigorous approach, cultivates this unique grape variety to extract its essence. This wine is the fruit of a meticulous selection of grapes and an attentive winemaking process, beginning with fermentation in temperature-controlled steel to preserve the freshness and integrity of the fruit.
This 2021 vintage reveals itself in a brilliant ruby red color, a promise of great vitality. On the nose, I perceive a complex and intensely aromatic bouquet: notes of ripe red fruits such as cherry and plum mingle with light accents of vanilla and spices. On the palate, it offers a robust yet surprisingly soft and balanced structure. The acidity is lively, the tannins fine, and it finishes with a long harmonious persistence. It was aged between 6 and 12 months, which gives it beautiful maturity while retaining its youthful vigor.
This Rosso di Montalcino is an ideal companion for your table. I recommend it with red meats, a good pasta dish with meat ragù, or also charcuterie and aged cheeses. It also pairs wonderfully with roasts. But beyond meals, it is also a wine for meditation, to be savored alone to appreciate all its nuances. Serve it at 18-20°C, after letting it breathe a little in a decanter, and it will reveal to you all the depth of flavors and the richness of Montalcino's winemaking tradition.
