The 2007 Rosso di Montalcino is a super-ripe, open wine bursting with the essence of kirsch, red cherries and flowers. This intensely ripe Rosso offers terrific balance in a flamboyant, extroverted style. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2012. Proprietor Andrea Cortonesi embodies the finest of the artisan tradition in Montalcino. Cortonesi’s wines have always been bold and exciting, but with the 2004 Brunello di Montalcino Cortonesi has arrived at a new level of elegance.
