Pian Dell'orino Rosso Di Montalcino 750ml
$281.00 price per bottle
This wine is made from 100% Sangiovese, often referred to as Sangiovese Grosso in Montalcino. Color, Aroma, and Palate: It typically presents a bright, jewelled ruby or light, bright ruby red color, occasionally being a more dense, dark cherry red. The aroma can be pure and aromatic with notes of red cherry, pomegranate, rose petal, blood orange, wild herbs, crushed stone, and sometimes sweet spices. On the palate, it is sleek and energetic. Flavours often include candied cherries, ripe red fruits, sour cherry, fresh plum, liquorice, and a mineral depth. Body and Finish: The wine is often described as having a seamless, graceful, medium-bodied profile, with great fibre and density on the palate. It has fine, sometimes chalky, well-defined tannins and a lively, precise acidity that provides a remarkable freshness. The finish is long and persistent, with a clean perfume and lingering floral, herbal, or dried cherry and licorice notes. Stylistic Notes: This Rosso di Montalcino is praised for its balance, clarity, and elegance, often transcending the category to reach a 'Brunello level' of quality, reflecting the terroir with a finely structured acidity. It is an organic wine, as the grapes are grown using biodynamic principles. Optimal Drinking Window: While enjoyable when young, it has potential to age and reward cellaring, with some vintages suggesting successful evolution over the coming 10 years. Food Pairing Suggested pairings for this Tuscan red wine include hearty meat dishes such as beef, lamb, and veal, as well as poultry, and cured meat. It pairs excellently with typical Tuscan cuisine like wild boar ragout with pappardelle, or a Chianina rib steak. The wine’s structure and fruit flavours also make it suitable for pasta dishes with meat or tomato sauces, risotto, aged cheeses (like Pecorino or Parmigiano Reggiano), and dark poultry. A perfect match to enhance the wine's complexity.
