Rosso di Montalcino DOC Cantina di Montalcino

Cantina di Montalcino Rosso di Montalcino DOC is a red wine produced in the area of the municipality of Montalcino, Tuscany. The Montalcino area is characterized by hills and valleys that provide an ideal microclimate for growing vines, with altitudes ranging from 150 to 500 meters above sea level. The vineyards of the Cantina di Montalcino are located in this area and are cultivated mainly with Sangiovese grapes, known locally as "Brunello." This grape variety is particularly suited to the Montalcino terroir and yields red wines of great structure and complexity. The process of making Rosso di Montalcino begins with the harvesting of the Sangiovese grapes, which generally takes place in mid-September. After crushing and fermentation, the wine is aged in oak barrels for at least 12 months, followed by an additional period of bottle aging before being marketed. The result is a red wine of great elegance, characterized by hints of red fruits, spices and floral notes, with a well-integrated tannic structure and excellent aging capacity. Cantina di Montalcino's Rosso di Montalcino is a versatile wine that pairs well with traditional Tuscan dishes such as ribollita, Florentine steak and aged cheeses.
