Ripe Cherries, Orange Peel, Wild Florals, and Certified Organic Montalcino Purity

The 2024 La Magia Rosso di Montalcino is a vibrant, graceful, and beautifully aromatic 100% Sangiovese from the Schwarz family's certified organic estate in Tuscany. Sourced from high-altitude vineyards overlooking the scenic Val d'Orcia, this cuvée captures the energetic, youthful side of Montalcino without sacrificing classic Sangiovese structure. Lifted aromas of ripe red cherries, wild raspberries, dried flowers, and zesty orange peel lead into a medium-bodied, smooth, and juicy palate framed by crunchy tannins, lively acidity, and a gently savory, lingering finish.

Terroir, History & Acclaim

Critical Recognition:
James Suckling 91 pts
  • 91 Points - JamesSuckling.com: "Ripe cherries and raspberries, orange peels and floral notes on the nose. The palate is smooth and juicy with a medium body, while a gentle grip of tannins adds structure to the finish. Drink now."
  • Organic Montalcino Terroir: Sourced from the Schwarz family's certified organic estate. The vineyards sit at an altitude of approximately 400–450 meters overlooking the Val d'Orcia, where stony, well-draining soils and excellent sun exposure naturally limit yields and maximize Sangiovese's aromatic intensity.
  • Artisanal Maturation: Guided by winemaker Fabian Schwarz, the Rosso di Montalcino is crafted to be more approachable in its youth than its Brunello sibling. The wine is fermented to preserve primary fruit purity and then aged gently—often utilizing a combination of stainless steel and 500-liter French oak *tonneaux*—giving it a supple texture without masking its vibrant red fruit.

Highlights

  • 100% Sangiovese (Sangiovese Grosso) from certified organic vineyards in Montalcino, Tuscany.
  • The 2024 vintage delivers a smooth, highly approachable profile bursting with ripe cherry, wild raspberry, and zesty orange peel.
  • Crafted by Fattoria La Magia; an excellent, food-friendly companion to classic Italian cuisine that is drinking beautifully right now.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Bright, translucent ruby-red with youthful crimson reflections.
  • Nose: Fragrant and lifted. It opens with vibrant aromas of ripe red cherry, wild raspberry, and zesty orange peel, accompanied by dried florals, subtle baking spice, and a hint of dusty Tuscan earth.
  • Palate: Dry, medium-bodied, and incredibly juicy. The entry delivers a refreshing wave of crunchy red berry fruit that flows seamlessly across a smooth mid-palate, held together by a gentle grip of supple tannins and crisp acidity into a savory, blood-orange-tinged finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve at 16–18°C. Serving it slightly cool preserves its vibrant acidity and fresh red fruit character.
  • Decanting: A quick 20-to-30 minute aeration is helpful, but it is ready to drink straight from the bottle. Enjoy now through 2030.
  • Western Pairing: Classic pasta with rich meat ragù (pappardelle al cinghiale), Margherita pizza, grilled pork chops, or aged Pecorino cheese.
  • Asian Pairing: Peking duck, soy-sauce braised chicken, Taiwanese beef noodle soup, or savory char siu (barbecue pork).
