Castello Romitorio Rosso di Montalcino 2019

''The 2019 Rosso di Montalcino is incredibly pretty and perfumed with a display of violets and roses that gives way to wild strawberries and woodland herbs. This is silky and textual yet full of lively energy, with a savory display of mineral-tinged cherries and exotic spices. There's a residual coating of primary fruit concentration mixed with grippy tannins that not only frames the experience perfectly but also promises a number of years of further development in bottle.'' 92 Points, Eric Guido, Vinous Media

''I find the new Rosso's to have more freshness and elegance than the 2015s showed upon release. That said, there’s a lot of depth and power to be found here as well. Expect the 2019's to drink well upon release, but even better after a year or two of cellaring. In closing, I believe that Rosso di Montalcino has never been better than it is today. It delivers a highly enjoyable expression of Sangiovese with Montalcino pedigree, with its zesty fruit and high acidity, will pair with nearly any meal imaginable.'' Eric Guido, Vinous Media
