The Rosso di Montalcino DOC from Cantina di Montalcino is a red wine produced in the area of the municipality of Montalcino, in Tuscany. The territory of Montalcino is characterized by hills and valleys that offer an ideal microclimate for vine cultivation, with an altitude ranging from 150 to 500 meters above sea level. The vineyards of Cantina di Montalcino are located in this area and are mainly cultivated with Sangiovese grapes, locally known as "Brunello." This grape variety is particularly suited to the terroir of Montalcino and gives rise to red wines of great structure and complexity. The production process of Rosso di Montalcino begins with the harvest of Sangiovese grapes, which generally takes place in mid-September. After crushing and fermentation, the wine is aged in oak barrels for at least 12 months, followed by a further period of aging in the bottle before being marketed. The result is a wine of great elegance, characterized by aromas of red fruits, spices, and floral notes, with a well-integrated tannic structure and excellent aging potential. Rosso di Montalcino from Cantina di Montalcino is a versatile wine that pairs well with traditional Tuscan dishes such as ribollita, bistecca alla fiorentina, and aged cheeses. Pairings: Rosso di Montalcino DOC Cantina di Montalcino pairs perfectly with dishes from the Tuscan tradition. A first course that pairs wonderfully with this wine is pappa al pomodoro, a soup made with stale bread and tomato, seasoned with extra virgin olive oil and basil. The full and rounded taste of the wine pleasantly contrasts with the acidity of the tomato and the aroma of the oil and basil. For main courses, Rosso di Montalcino pairs well with bistecca alla fiorentina, a cut of veal or beef cooked on the grill. The wine, with its structure and tannins, balances the richness and juiciness of the meat. Another interesting pairing is with wild boar stew, a typical dish of Tuscan cuisine. The wild taste of the wild boar meat pairs well with the notes of red fruit and spices in the wine. Finally, regarding cheeses, Rosso di Montalcino pairs well with pecorino toscano, a sheep's cheese with a strong and slightly spicy flavor. The wine, with its acidity and tannins, balances the strong taste of the cheese. Storage: Store between 14-18°C Alcohol content: 13.0% Vintage: 2023
