"Vibrant black cherry, raspberry preserves, cedar shavings and dusty earth form a wildly attractive bouquet as the
2021 Rosso di Montalcino opens in the glass. This is like pure velvet on the palate, yet spicy and intense, with a stern core of minerality and zesty acidity that adds a sense of boundless energy. This turns savory, nearly salty, finishing with a staining of licorice and spice as gently grippy tannins resonate. This is fantastic and built for medium-term cellaring." -Vinous
