Description
In a nutshell:
A youthful and fresh Tuscan red from the hills around Montalcino.
The lowdown:
Rosso de Montalcino is the baby brother DOC of the famous Brunello di Montalcino wines made in the same part of Tuscany. Indeed, Castiglion del Bosco are one of Brunello's most prestigious producers. 2015, an excellent growing year, saw the first release of the Gauggiole cru and fewer than 6,500 bottles of this were made. After fermentation the wine was aged for 6 months in a mix of new and second use French barriques before bottling and further ageing for 6 months before release. The wine is wonderfully elegant and refreshing with bright, ripe cherry flavours and a fine mineral stucture held together with as subtle tannic backbone.
When to drink:
A good pair with things like chargrilled chicken.
Suitable for Vegans
