Rosso di Montalcino

Cork

Gauggiole is an area just dedicated to Rosso di Montalcino, whereas usually producers declassify their Brunello vineyards to make a Rosso di Montalcino. In the north of Montalcino, grapes have historically struggled to ripen, but nowadays they are improving and bringing more roundness and ripeness with a warming climate, meaning they are not as angular as they were once considered. This is very pale in colour, and laced with herbaceous notes and red fruit. Sage, laurel, and a touch of smoke. The palate is crunchy, a tad bitter, then finishing on sweet honeyed cranberries.
