Carpineto Rosso di Montalcino 2022

A balanced nose begins with opulent notes of raspberry and black cherry, before metallic, earthy and saline aromas emerge. The palate initially runs with the umami streak, before swirling into a decadent ice cream sundae of chocolate and vanilla, sprinkled with nuts and berries. Chalky, grippy tannins structure an acidic, astringent finish.

A cascade of violets and lavender gives way to blackberries and cloves as the 2022 Rosso di Montalcino blossoms in the glass. Soothingly round and pliant, it sweeps across the palate with opulently ripe wild berry fruits and sweet spice. Juicy acidity maintains balance as the 2022 leaves a pleasantly bitter tinge and a coating of fine tannins.

This red is bright and bursts with black cherry and blackberry flavors. Fluid, this picks up a light feel of dusty tannins on the moderate finish. Drink now through 2028. 4,000 cases made, 1,800 cases imported.
