Grown in the same DOC zone as the estate's celebrated Brunello di Montalcino, this 2023 vintage uses 100% Sangiovese grapes but follows the shorter aging rules set for Rosso di Montalcino rather than the longer, stricter requirements of Brunello di Montalcino DOCG. The result is a wine with real Montalcino character at a fraction of the wait and the price, ready to drink now while still carrying the structure to improve over the next two or three years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTasting Experience\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003ePour a glass and you will find aromas of violet, ripe red cherry and wild strawberry layered over a faint dried herb note typical of Sangiovese grown on Montalcino's galestro soils. On the palate the wine is medium bodied with a supple texture, bright acidity and ripe, well managed tannins that give it a long, savory finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eElegant Presentation\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bottle carries Fattoria dei Barbi's understated, estate style label, a nod to the winery's long standing reputation among Tuscany's most respected Sangiovese producers. It looks equally at home on a dinner table or wrapped as a gift for someone who appreciates classic Italian winemaking without unnecessary flash.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eServing Tips\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe at 16 to 18°C in a Bordeaux style glass to let the fruit and herbal notes open up. A short decant of 20 to 30 minutes rounds out the tannins if you plan to enjoy it right away, though the wine drinks beautifully straight from the bottle too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eA Gift With Tuscan Credentials\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eRosso di Montalcino makes a thoughtful gift for anyone building an interest in Italian wine: it carries the same Sangiovese pedigree and Montalcino address as Brunello without asking the recipient to wait years before opening it. Pair it with a card for a dinner party host, a new wine lover, or a colleague who appreciates a bottle with a genuine story behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003ePerfect Pairings\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMargherita Pizza:\u003c\/strong\u003e The wine's bright acidity cuts through the tomato and melted cheese without overwhelming either.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrilled Italian Sausage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smoky, savory sausage echoes the wine's herbal undertones and stands up to its tannin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePappardelle with Wild Boar Ragù:\u003c\/strong\u003e A classic Tuscan match, the ragù's richness meets the wine's cherry fruit and firm structure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAged Pecorino Toscano:\u003c\/strong\u003e The cheese's nutty saltiness draws out the wine's red fruit and softens its tannin on the finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Fattoria dei Barbi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67680545702140,"sku":"397430","price":60.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0519\/7335\/7723\/files\/rosso-di-montalcino-fattoria-dei-barbi-202320251203135745_2af34420-81b0-4d34-9d7a-31393307411a.png?v=1791635273","url":"https:\/\/vyno.ca\/products\/fattoria-dei-barbi-rosso-di-montalcino-2023","provider":"Vyno","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
