Rosso di Montalcino
DOC
It comes from the high vineyards of Podere Casisano in the hills to the south-east of Montalcino and offers the charm of an immediately appealing style, combined with good structure and the fragrant fruit that is typical of Sangiovese.
Vibrant, fresh and easy-drinking Rosso di Montalcino is often interpreted as inferior to its big brother Brunello. We see it as equally pleasurable and delicious in the context of an everyday wine.
