Masses of crushed raspberry, peppery florals and smoky mineral-earth tones create a bouquet that is impossible to ignore as the 2020 Rosso di Montalcino opens in the glass. This is a pure and vibrant yet silky effort that contrasts ripe berries with hints of sour citrus and savory spice. While packed full of zesty energy, it finishes classically dry and persistent, leaving notes of roses and cloves to linger. Give the 2020 another year of cellaring for the full effect and enjoy over the medium term.

Aromas of tilled earth, new leather and blue flower waft out of the glass. Medium-bodied and enjoyable, the straightforward palate offers spiced blackberry, wild cherry and a hint of truffle alongside dusty tannins.
