A smoky mix of wild herbs, crushed rocks, young strawberries and rose petals wafts up from the 2020 Rosso di Montalcino. It’s seamlessly silky with nuances of candied citrus and bright cherry fruits that light up the palate, as exotic inner florals amass toward the close. The 2020 maintains energy throughout, finishing remarkably fresh yet also potent and long. This is one of the most elegant vintages I’ve yet experienced from the Le Chiuse Rosso, but watch out for its 14.5% abv. that can easily sneak up on you. (Eric Guido, Vinous, October 2022)

Oct 20th, 2022Sweet smoke and roses give way to cedar spice box and bright cherries as the 2013 Rosso di Montalcino opens up in the glass. This is silky, plush and enveloping with sweet berries and hints of balsamic spice. While resolved, the 2013 remains widely energetic with a very pretty inner sweetness, tapering off long to notes of raspberry and licorice. (Eric Guido, Vinous, January 2022)

See previous note from August 2020. Aromas of dried cherry, loam and a touch of menthol Barb thought. Palate was sour cherry and fine powdery tannins with a touch of astringency. The perfect wine with home made pasta (or pizza as per the last note). Should buy more Tuscan Rosso.

Jan 4th, 2022Mid Crimson. Lovely red fruited perfume (cherry). Just medium bodied - fruit forward with a savoury twist. Powdery tannins. Ready to drink. Perfect with home made Pizza.

The riper, fruit character is delicious, and the acidity from the Northeast of Montalcino shines through as always.

Jun 26th, 2020Great purity of fruit, very little oak influence(nothing newer than 5 year used botti), extremely gulpable. A true Rosso.

A beautifully rounded, silky soft Rosso. Good fresh fruit. Rosso Di Montalcino can age well

Печеные вишни, кардамон, мускатный орех, дымно. Вкус полный, гармоничный, с добавкой вишни к аромату. 15.5/20 (86/100)
