Rosso di Montalcino (Mike Rienzi) – Red Wine
This ruby red wine originates from the same land as the Brunello with an intense bouquet with a pleasant nose and a hint of dark berries. A well structured wine which is velvety, persistent, and slightly tannic. Known as “a young Brunello”, it is better if served young.
