Rosso di Montalcino
Wine · PDO · 1 municipality
Rosso di Montalcino DOC, produced entirely within the single Tuscan municipality of Montalcino, offers a distinct expression of 100% Sangiovese. While sharing geographical boundaries with its sibling Brunello di Montalcino, this wine imposes no mandatory aging period, requiring only that it not be released before 1 September of the year following the harvest. Uniquely, active batches can be reclassified downward from Brunello DOCG during production. To preserve its specific profile, the disciplinare explicitly forbids terms like 'Riserva' or 'Superiore' on the label, presenting a dry, warm, and slightly tannic red that stands clearly apart.
