"A sumptuous texture

"Cedar and pine give way to dusty rose and dried black cherry, as the dark-looking Rosso di Montalcino 2021 blossoms in the glass. Its sumptuous textures and ripe red fruits display Montalcino's southern terroir, while lively acidity and mineral tones maintain a beautiful balance. The 2021 finishes with a light but energetic structure, enlivened by a lingering note of spicy citrus. Short cellaring is recommended". (Vinous 2023) - To be enjoyed now or in a few years' time, with a duck breast in Port, for example...
