Rosy, floral, waxy and spicy, the 2017 Rosso di Montalcino impresses most for its savory, almost-savage character and depth of fruit. This is a textural showboat of a wine, silky-smooth yet salty, and with a bump of juicy acidity that brings it all to life. Sweet tannins saturate the palate, unexpectedly so, yet with enough residual fruits and florals to promise a steady evolution. That’s not to say that the 2017 isn’t already enjoyable today; in fact, it’s in a very happy place. (Eric Guido, Vinous, January 2022)

Jan 28th, 2022The 2016 Rosso di Montalcino from Le Potazzine is a total showstopper. All of the purity, the translucence, the energy, that makes Sangiovese so alluring comes through in Le Potazzine's 2016 Rosso. Bright red cherry fruit, mint, spice, rose petal and cedar are all beautifully lifted in a refined, impeccable Rosso that will dazzle readers with its total elegance and class. I loved it.
