Marchesi Antinori Pian delle Vigne Rosso di Montalcino DOC (75cl)

A Rosso di Montalcino from Marchesi Antinori, made from Sangiovese from the same vineyards used for Brunello. The grapes are selected, destemmed and softly pressed, then fermented in steel tanks at around 25 degrees for about 8-10 days, followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine matures slowly for 12 months in wooden barrels before bottling. On the nose it has pleasant red fruit aromas such as cherry and sour cherry, with small floral notes of violet and lavender. On the palate it is fresh, fine and savoury, with soft, enveloping tannins; it stands out for fruit succulence and gustatory persistence.
