Rosso di Montalcino Sangiovese
Montalcino, Siena, Tuscany, Italy
Another quaffable RdM that improved over two days, gaining some weight and some character in the mid-palate...but not as exciting as the Ciacci or the Mocali from a few days back. A perfectly serviceable Sangiovese though.

May 27th, 2020Classic, elegant, appealing. Dried sour cherry, grilled fennel, tobacco, new leather, fresh earth, dried herbs, cracked black pepper. Medium-ish everything with bright, fresh acidity. Enjoyed on its own after dinner, but would have been killed with some fancy pizza.

Classic aromatic profile, very elegant on the palate if given proper aeration. Lovely acidity and succulent finish.

More ruby red heavy tears light staining.. Nose is earth with a bit of funk.. Red cherry sour cherry .. Tart with good acid - a fresh ripe red cherry and pomegranate bite on the palate...

Просто и лаконично, несколько грубовато и спиртуозно

Tonight was home made pizza night, so I naturally went with Sangiovese.
Nice nose of cherry, tar, a tiny menthol touch, almond... This is very inviting. The palate is really easy going, fruity and umami. Good acid drive with a nice width, a vivid mouthfeel, a bright cherry note blossoming all along, some vivid tannins leaving a nice drying layer over the finish that features bright cherry notes and that umami note that makes you reach for the bottle to pour yourself another glass right after the first one. Good, easy going, simple stuff.
