A smoky mix of dried plums, black cherries and balsamic spice form an alluring bouquet as the 2020 Rosso di Montalcino Martoccia opens in the glass. It splashes across the palate with tart wild berry fruits and savory herbal tones enlivened by brisk acidity. While only lightly structured, the 2020 leaves a saturation of primary intensity that creates a grippy sensation throughout the floral-tinged finale. I’m very eager to see what another year in the bottle will yield here.
