"The 2023 Rosso di Montalcino is dusty in the glass, with dried roses, peppery wild berries and citrus shavings. It's soft-textured, nearly fleshy, with a saline mineral edge and a core of ripe red berries. Nuanced tannins frame the finish and add a chewy texture as this tapers off with excellent length and freshness."

"Ripe strawberries and red plums are complemented by hints of dried herbs and orange peel on the nose. The medium-bodied palate is smooth and juicy, featuring gentle grip, a dusting of texture and a pure, red-fruited finish."
