Cerbaiona 2019 Rosso di Montalcino: A Vibrant Expression of Tuscan Sangiovese

Origin & Craftsmanship:
Hailing from the esteemed Montalcino region in Tuscany, Italy, this 2019 Rosso di Montalcino by Cerbaiona showcases the pure essence of Sangiovese grapes. Meticulously crafted, it embodies the terroir’s signature elegance while offering a vibrant, approachable alternative to its Brunello counterparts.

Tasting Profile:
Expect a medium-bodied wine with a lively personality. The nose bursts with expansive Sangiovese aromas—ripe red cherries, wild herbs, and a hint of violet—that seamlessly translate to the palate. Unlike some Montalcino wines, this Rosso avoids heavy oak or spice, instead delivering crystal-clear fruit purity and layers of subtle complexity. Darker fruit notes (think blackberry and plum) add depth, while bright acidity and smooth tannins ensure balance. At 14% ABV, it’s moderately alcoholic yet remarkably drinkable, perfect for immediate enjoyment or short-term aging.

Why Choose This Wine?
– Authentic Tuscan Character: A true reflection of Montalcino’s terroir without the intensity of Brunello.
– Versatile Pairing: Ideal with pasta dishes, grilled meats, or aged cheeses.
– Everyday Luxury: Offers the sophistication of a high-end red at an accessible price point.
– No Compromises: Free from murky or smoky off-flavors, it’s a clean, polished expression of Sangiovese.

Perfect For:
Wine enthusiasts seeking a daily-drinking red with structure, food-friendly versatility, and Tuscan pedigree.
