Αποτελεί την 2η ετικέτα από τη σημαντική οινικά περιοχή του Montalcino, από έναν παραγωγό με μεγάλη παράδοση κι ακόμα μεγαλύτερο όνομα. Τυπικό sangiovese αλλά πιο φρουτώδες και εύγεστο.

Συνοδεύει κρεατικά ψητά και μαγειρευτά, ζυμαρικά με κόκκινες σάλτσες – πικάντικες και μη.

Rosso di Montalcino Dry Red Wine 2017 750ml / Il Poggione

Younger, more accessible version of the Brunello, but already with an excellent structure and a great personality, Rosso di Montalcino is a very important wine for Tenuta Il Poggione.

Produced entirely from Sangiovese grapes, sourced in the estate's younger vineyards, Rosso di Montalcino is aged in large casks and barriques before a period of bottle aging.

The wood aging, although not obligatory for the production of Rosso di Montalcino, tones down the tannins typical of a young Sangiovese and gives this red wine a complexity of aroma and structure that make it a great "Young Brunello".
