What kind of wine it isRosso di Montalcino by Leonardo da Vinci is produced from Sangiovese grapes grown on the hillsides of Montalcino. It has a structured and complex style, with a medium-full body and a fragrant aromatic profile.

The result is an elegant wine with well-integrated tannins.OriginThis wine comes from the hilly area of Montalcino, in the province of Siena, with vineyards situated between 120 and 650 meters above sea level. The varied exposures support a balance between ripeness and acidity. The soils are mostly clay-based and rich in shells, elements that contribute both structure and a clear mineral note to the flavor profile.How it's madeHarvesting of the Sangiovese grapes is done by hand from mid-September to mid-October, selecting bunches at the right balance between sugars and acidity. After destemming and crushing, fermentation occurs in stainless steel at about 24°C, with skin maceration for about ten days and gentle pumpovers to extract fine tannins. It continues aging in stainless steel for several months, followed by at least three months in the bottle to ensure freshness and harmony.Tasting notesIn the glass, it displays an intense, clear purple red color. On the nose, cherry and red fruits stand out, with light spicy notes and mineral touches. The palate is balanced and full, with lively acidity and soft but firm tannins. The finish is long, with returns of fruit and a well-defined savory sensation.Food pairingsRosso di Montalcino pairs well with first courses in meat sauce, mushrooms or truffles, elaborate risottos, and main courses of sauced pork or veal. Its versatility makes it suitable for many occasions.When to serveIt is recommended to serve Rosso di Montalcino in large glasses to enhance the aromatic profile and structure.
