Val di Suga Rosso di Montalcino 2022 750ml

Winemaker's Review

This Rosso is distinct for its earlier accessibility compared to Brunello, offering a more approachable yet complex profile. It showcases the unique terroirs of Montalcino, delivering a refined and expressive wine that reflects the estate's commitment to quality and tradition. Val di Suga's Rosso di Montalcino is a vibrant expression of Sangiovese Grosso, sourced from the estate's three historic vineyards. The blend consists of a younger selection of vines, of which, about 40% are from Vigna del Lago, with its unique microclimate, 30% from Poggio al Granchio, known for its structured soils, and 30% from Vigna Spuntali, which provides freshness due to its higher altitude.

Rosso di Montalcino Val di Suga showcases a lively nose and
exhibits notes of red berry fruits, cherries, and redcurrants,
with slightly spicy overtones. The mouth is full and plush,
with silky tannins and a juicy finish.

"The 2022 Rosso Di Montalcino is a delightful offering. Pouring a youthful ruby color, it reveals a fruity bouquet of candied raspberries, roses, and spiced orange. Medium-bodied, it boasts an elegant mouthfeel, fine tannins, a juicy mid-palate, and a clean finish. It's drinking fantastically now and will continue to drink well over the next 5-6 years."

"The 2022 Rosso di Montalcino is mentholated and fresh, with dried strawberries and crushed stones wafting up from the glass. This is soft-textured and pure in feral form, with ripe red berries and spices cascading throughout. It leaves a gentle tension and crunchy sensation while tapering off poised and with medium length."
