Description

Sheet Vintage 2016

CLIMATE: The vintage developed clear, net and fragrant scents, a strong acidic structure which guarantees long ageing, and an intense and bright colour. After a rainy spring, the autumn was very hot during the day and cool at night, an excursion that made the grapes particularly rich in acidity, color and perfumes. The harvest was perfect, one of the most beautiful in recent years. In May and June the weather was cool, with good rainfall, while in summer the heat was balanced, not excessive

Reviews and valutations

The 2016 Rosso di Montalcino delivers lots of red fruit (cherry) and bright intensity. This is an exuberant and fruit-driven expression that addresses all your basic wine needs. This Rosso is refreshing, simple, decidedly Italiano in personality and would pair with all of your favorite pasta, ravioli or gnocchi dishes. What more do you want at this excellent price?
