Rosso
di Montalcino
DOC

Rosso di Montalcino is a prestigious red wine produced in the hills surrounding the town of Montalcino, in southern Tuscany. Made exclusively from 100% Sangiovese grapes—locally known as Sangiovese Grosso— this wine is often referred to as the “younger brother” of the famous Brunello di Montalcino.

A Bit of History
Rosso di Montalcino was officially recognized as a DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) in 1984, as a response to producers’ desire to offer a more approachable, earlier-drinking alternative to Brunello. While Brunello requires long aging (at least 5 years before release), Rosso can be enjoyed much sooner—typically after just one year.
This created the opportunity to showcase the same exceptional terroir and grape variety, but in a fresher, more vibrant style.

Territory

Is produced in the southern part of the territory of Montalcino between Sant’Angelo in Colle and Castelnuovo dell’Abate by an historical Estate preparing the wine under our brand.
This land is considered the most suitable for the production of Brunello di Montalcino.

The vineyards are sheltered from the cold northern winds and benefit from the warm stream of air from the Maremma thanks to the nearby Monte Amiata favouring a mild microclimate.
