About this product
Dry, Medium Bodied style of SangioveseCantina di Montalcino was founded in 1970 and it is the only cooperative winery in the Brunello area.

Approaching its 4th birthday, this Rosso di Montalcino has never looked better. Well-groomed, not a pleat out of place, confidently displaying all of the attributes that make Sangiovese from this region so attractive. Soft in the glass, a waft of violets, freshness still prevalent, cherries, dried sage, licorice and hints of darker fruit, with little oak influence to speak of - a medium-bodied Tuscan red that will enhance any meal.

"Bang for buck Sangiovese. Earthy with black cherries. Fine grained tannins. Bright acidity"
