The 2016 Rosso di Montalcino (with 4,000 bottles produced) offers a smooth and steady interpretation of the Sangiovese grape. The wine opens to an inky appearance that is darker than your standard Rosso. The bouquet is redolent of dark cherry, plum, spice and cured tobacco. This wine ages in barrique for 12 months, and I am surprised to see the alcohol recorded at 15%. You feel that power but not in an obvious way.
