The 2016 Rosso di Montalcino Sogni e Follia is layered and darkly intriguing, even sultry in nature, as dried black cherries give way to exotic Indian curries, brown spice, masses of crushed stone minerality and hints of cocoa. Its silky textures wash an invigorating mix of citrus-tinged red berries and inner herbal tones across the palate, all motivated by a nearly-salty acid profile. Notes of tangerine, ginger and rose fill the senses, as this tapers off incredibly long, staining and lightly structured. This is the current vintage release of the Sogni e Follia, a single-vineyard Rosso di Montalcino that refines for thirty months in large oak barrels prior to bottling. It fits neatly into the category of “Baby Brunello”. (Eric Guido, Vinous, January 2022)

Wow this is in a great place. It has evolved a bit already, with a brickish rim around the glass. The nose is rather complex with rose petals, cherry, sour cherry, strawberry, black pepper, some licorice too. The palate shows a great acid drive, some width, with licorice, strawberry and sour cherry notes. Very quickly some tannins come in and take the stage leaving a rather strong drying layer over a rather long finish with sœur cherry, strawberry and a nice umami note that develop in the rear. It's a great tasting experience 😍
