La Togata Jacopus Rosso Di Montalcino 2022

Tasting Notes

Montalcino is starting to resemble a desert. So says Eric Guido in Vinous. This shifting climate reality has set the stage wherein, for some vintages, minimum Brunello aging requirements can be excessive given the nature of the berries and juice extracted. Rosso di Montalcino, given it less restrictive requirements, offers winemakers an option to balance the wine produced relative to the vintage character.

“Jacopus” Rosso di Montalcino is a clear, ruby red colour. The ample bouquet shows aromas of red cherries and strawberries with hints of blood orange, Tuscan herbs and an earthy complexity. The rich and well structure palate displays soft flavours of purple fruits with good acidity and a long, solid aftertaste with well managed tannins
