Altesino
Rosso di Montalcino Sangiovese
Montalcino, Siena, Tuscany, Italy
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.
