From Fattoria La Magia in Italy’s Montalcino, the Rosso di Montalcino 2023 is a refined 100% Sangiovese sourced from younger vines in the estate’s organically farmed vineyards on clay-limestone soils that impart freshness and elegance. Hand-harvested grapes from the balanced 2023 vintage—marked by moderate conditions yielding concentrated yet vibrant fruit—undergo cool fermentation and short maceration in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, followed by 6 months' aging in third-use French oak tonneaux and terracotta amphorae to preserve fruit purity and enhance suppleness. This family-run estate, led by Fabian Schwartz, emphasizes sustainable practices, yielding a ruby red wine with garnet edges and approachable poise.
Tasting Notes An elegant, vibrant red with fresh red berries and subtle floral spice, reflecting Montalcino’s clay-limestone terroir. The nose reveals woodland berry, blue flower, and hints of baking spice. On the palate, it is light- to medium-bodied and juicy, with smooth tannins, bright acidity, and flavors of succulent wild cherry, star anise, and a touch of earthiness, leading to a long, graceful finish.
Awards and Accolades The 2023 Rosso di Montalcino earned 91 points from Wine Enthusiast for its graceful style and polished tannins.
Serving and Cellaring Serve at 16-18°C with 30 minutes of decanting to enhance aromas. Ideal with grilled poultry, pasta with tomato sauce, or charcuterie. Enjoy now through 2030, developing greater earthy and silky nuances over time.
