A model of purity, the 2021 Rosso di Montalcino opens slowly, at first showing red plum and dusty rose nuances while coaxing brings violet florals, cedar and crushed stone to the front. This excites the palate with its energetic mix of juicy wild berries and contrasting saline mineral tones, further enhanced by brisk acidity. A citrus and cranberry tension is left to linger, pinching at the cheeks while forcing the mouth to water for more, as a gentle coating of fine tannins is slowly revealed. What a beauty, but do make sure to give this a good decant or cellar over the next five to eight years.
