Made by the only cooperative in the Brunello zone, it offers a genuine taste of Montalcino with the kind of quality and value that makes the region so compelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, it shows a beautiful purple hue. The nose is fresh and inviting, with notes of blackcurrant, redcurrant, ripe red cherries, pepper, and a hint of earth.\n\nThe palate is dry, lively, and fruit-driven, with red berry flavors at the core, supported by gentle spice and fine tannins that give the wine shape without overwhelming its freshness. This is a wine best enjoyed young, ideally within its first 5–6 years, when the fruit is at its most expressive and the structure remains bright and supple.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Sangiovese fruit comes from the cooperative’s many small growers spread across the slopes of Montalcino, at elevations reaching around 500 meters. Harvesting is done by hand, and the grapes are fully destemmed before pressing. After fermentation, the wine spends 10 months in stainless steel tanks, followed by a further 3 months in bottle before release.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Rosso di Montalcino is a natural match for classic Italian dishes such as pasta with tomato-based sauces, roast chicken, grilled sausages, mushroom risotto, and cured meats. Serve it slightly cool, around 16–18°C, and decanting is not necessary unless you want to give it a little extra air for the first few years after release.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFounded in 1970, Cantina di Montalcino is the only cooperative in the Brunello area and today counts 94 small growers cultivating around 160 hectares across all sides of the Montalcino hill. Since 2005, production has been led by Paolo Vaggini and Riccardo Pucci, whose modern approach consistently delivers wines that clearly reflect both the Sangiovese grape and their Montalcino origin.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cantina di Montalcino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54252841075025,"sku":"FW-8391","price":23.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/produkt-grid_144.png?v=1783447217","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/cantina-di-montalcino-rosso-di-montalcino-2021","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
