Ciacci Piccolomini Rosso di Montalcino Rossofonte

This is not your regular Rosso.  It's the top selection of Sangiovese grapes from Ciacci Piccolomini's estate.  It's a beautiful expression of Sangiovese, with bright red fruits and balsamic notes and an excellent balance between silky tannins and acidity.  This is as close as you can get to Brunello quality while maintaining the Rosso di Montalcino DOC appellation.

  Darkly floral and broody yet captivating, the 2020 Rosso di Montalcino Rossofonte entices with depths of dried black cherry, cedary, exotic spice and a dusting of cocoa. This is pure elegance on the palate, with silken textures that usher in waves of ripe red and black fruit, all balanced by a core of mineral-tinged acidity. The 2020 finishes with a bitter tinge of sour wild berries and licorice, tapering o! with medium length and only lightly structured. This is a more immediate style for Rossofonte, yet one that I find quite attractive.
