Very harmonious on the palate, the tannin very well integrated and the Nebbiolo fruit and acid component present until the respectable finish. SUPERIORE.DE

A delicious and energetic red with an excellent value for the noble region. SUPERIORE.DE

"A blend of savory herbs, leather and black cherries wafts up from the 2021 Rosso di Montalcino. It’s silky in texture, yet with a pronounced acidity that creates a reverberation of tension, as tart red fruits and mineral tones add further contrasts. The 2021 leaves a staining of primary concentration, along with a coating of fine tannins, while finishing with admirable length. Give this zesty Rosso at least a year in the cellar to even out a bit and blossom aromatically, as it has the balance to evolve very nicely." Vinous

The texture is velvety, with a polished feel to its red and black fruits and a delicately bitter hint of coffee and balsamic spices.

Montefili Rosso is a very harmonious red with character, finesse-rich and fresh on the palate, with a beautiful melt and respectable depth. SUPERIORE.DE
