Piombaia’s Rosso di Montalcino comes from the organic vineyard in Montalcino, in southern Tuscany. It is made from 100 per cent Sangiovese Grosso, the same grape variety as the famous Brunello, but with a shorter ageing period. This results in a younger, fresher wine. The grapes are hand-picked in October and placed in small crates.
Vinification takes place over 25 days in uncooled stainless-steel tanks. The wine is then aged for ten months in large 15-hectolitre barrels made of French and Slavonian oak. In the glass, it is a purplish ruby red, clear and transparent. The nose is floral, with sweet and spicy notes and purple fruit. On the palate, it is fresh and very easy to drink.
A versatile Tuscan red wine that pairs well with pasta in a meat sauce, such as a ragù, and with fresh or semi-mature cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C. Thanks to its freshness and supple structure, it is also delicious on its own, and makes for a lovely introduction to the Piombaia style before you open the Brunello.
The wine comes directly from the winemakers, they send the bottles themselves.
