Rosso di Montalcino DOC 2021 Fattoria La Lecciaia

The Rosso di Montalcino from Fattoria La Lecciaia is made from Sangiovese grapes grown on the hills of Montalcino; this red wine expresses the true character of the territory. The vineyards are situated at an altitude between 350 and 400 meters above sea level, on medium-textured soils with sand and clay deposits.

The winemaking process involves fermentation in temperature-controlled steel tanks for about 15-20 days, with frequent pumpovers to enhance aromas and structure. The wine primarily matures in steel, with a short aging in oak barrels for at least 6 months before being bottled and marketed already in the first year following the harvest.

Of intense ruby red color, it offers a fragrant and vinous bouquet, with notes of berries and floral hints. On the palate, it is fresh and fruity, with a balanced structure and a pleasant softness. The tannins are delicate and well-integrated, making the sip harmonious and of good persistence.

It pairs perfectly with first courses with meat sauces, pork roasts, and semi-aged cheeses.
