The 2020 Rosso di Montalcino is remarkably pretty and refined in the glass with the most vivid notes of bright strawberry, lavender and dusty sage imaginable. There’s a burst of sour citrus up front that balances the opulence of the vintage well. Silken textures wash masses of raspberry and mulberry preserves across a brisk acid core. It finishes long and staining, leaving licorice notes and hints of clove to linger. The 2020 is a pleasure boat Rosso that can be enjoyed now or over the next three to five years. (EG)
The Le Potazzine 2020 Rosso di Montalcino is another standout wine that builds momentum and recognition for this entry-level category. The approach is steady and polished, with plenty of redcurrant, cherry and crushed flowers. It ends with a pretty blast of freshness that resets the palate for your next sip, yet there is enough tonic grip to pair with grilled meats or fried foods. (ML)
