Rosso di Montalcino can be thought of as the younger sibling of the famous Brunello di Montalcino. It comes from the same region, is made from the same grape (called Brunello in these parts, but actually a specific clone of Sangiovese) and, because it doesn’t have the same price tag, can be a very good value wine. At Caparzo their Rosso is a wine that certainly falls in this bracket. The fruit is sourced from their own vineyards which stretch across the Montalcino region and the separate lots are blended together after fermentation. The resulting wine has a dark ruby red colour and quite seductive aromas of violets, cherries and a touch of orange peel. On the palate there's lot of fresh red fruits and creamy tannins giving it brilliant balance and structure before signing off with a fruity mouthwatering finish.
