Pale cherry red. A concentrated yet pure bouquet with of red and black cherry fruit with notes of spice and minerality. The palate follows through with similar flavours on a richly textural palate of fine yet very elegant, ripe tannins and a long dry finish.
Le Ragnaie's 2016 Rosso di Montalcino is striking. Deep and yet wonderfully translucent, the 2016 captures the purest essence of Sangiovese. Sweet red cherry, mint, rose petal and sweet spice give the 2016 a striking upper register of aromatic brilliance to play off its mid-weight personality. This is such a pretty and expressive wine. It's all class here. Drink 2020-2028.
