The 2018 Rosso di Montalcino lifts from the glass with a pretty display of crushed raspberries and fresh roses, evolving over time to show hints of sage and undergrowth. On the palate, creamy textures usher in ripe strawberry and sweet spices, as an air of cedar dust, leather and inner florals develop. The finish is long, resonating on purity of Sangiovese fruit, while subtle acids and hints of fine tannin tug at the senses. This is very nice, wonderfully balanced and a pleasure to taste.
