The wine shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of ruby red, moderate
transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas
which start with hints of black cherry and plum followed by aromas of
violet, blueberry, raspberry, vanilla and menthol. The mouth has good
correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and however balanced by
alcohol, good body, intense flavors, agreeable roundness. The finish is
persistent with flavors of black cherry and plum. This Rosso di Montalcino
ages for 14-15 months in cask followed by 6-9 months of aging in bottle.
