Tasting Notes:
Another delicious Rosso di Montalcino from Fanti with shaved chocolate, dried cherry, and strawberry notes. Medium body, fine tannins, and an intense fruit driven finish.
Winemaking:
Selection of the harvested grapes with three sorting tables. Destemming and crushing with fermentation and maceration in stainless steel vats. The must is pumped over the cap repeatedly at a controlled temperature. The malolactic fermentation takes place in the stainless-steel tanks before the ageing in the oak barrels
Food Pairing:
Ultimate wine for grilled steak, marinated and grilled portabello mushrooms over polenta, a classic with stewed cinghiale ragù over pappardelle.
