A 5,000-bottle release, the Palazzo 2018 Rosso di Montalcino opens to a medium-dark appearance with soft layers of ripe cherry and black plum. The fruit in this wine tastes soft and plush and is nicely balanced overall. There is a slightly tart or bitter note on the close, but it would probably totally disappear if paired next to a food rich in cream or cheese.

The 2015 Rosso di Montalcino opens to attractive simplicity with wild cherry and raspberry at the front. This balanced vintage delivers both aromatic richness and mouthfeel texture. You get both those qualities here in this no-fuss, stripped down expression of Sangiovese from mighty Montalcino.

Candied chocolate and sweet spice notes prevail over the oak, with cherry accents just beneath the surface. Balanced on the astringent side. Drink now through 2018. 1,000 cases made, 500 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Rosso di Montalcino Select to Add
