2022 Col d'Orcia Rosso di Montalcino

The 2022 Rosso di Montalcino is spicy, mixing cedar shavings with cloves, spiced orange and dried strawberries. It sweeps across the palate with ease, silky smooth and racy, displaying ripe red berry fruits and sour citrus. The 2022 leaves the senses reeling through the finish, ripe in style yet fresh and spry, with a pleasantly bitter tinge of ground clove that fades slowly.

The organic Col d'Orcia 2022 Rosso di Montalcino is all about those primary tones with ripe cherry and raspberry. There is a slightly metallic note of rusty nail or tin can that underlines the wine's mineral-rich, reductive personality. It's nothing too complicated, and the wine offers pretty tart fruit flavors on the short but very bright finish.
