Rosso di Montalcino DOC - Aziende Pietroso

In the glass, the Rosso di Montalcino from Aziende Pietroso presents a dense ruby-red color. When given a little air by swirling in the wine glass, this red wine reveals high viscosity, which shows in pronounced church windows on the glass. On the nose, this Aziende Pietroso red wine reveals all kinds of plums. As if that were not impressive enough, tobacco, spicy notes, and vanilla join in.

The Aziende Pietroso Rosso di Montalcino presents itself wonderfully dry to the connoisseur. This red wine never appears coarse or lean, as one might expect from a wine in the top-quality range. On the finish, this wine from the Tuscany region ultimately delights with lovely length. Once again, hints of plum appear.

Vinification of the Rosso di Montalcino from Aziende Pietroso

This powerful red wine from Italy is vinified from the Sangiovese grape variety. The Rosso di Montalcino is an Old World wine in the best sense of the word, as this Italian exudes an exceptional European charm that clearly underscores the success of wines from the Old World. After hand-picking, the grapes are taken to the press house as quickly as possible. There they are sorted and gently broken open. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Vinification is followed by maturation on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally bottled.
