Rosso di Montalcino DOC 2022 Renieri

What kind of wine is it?

Renieri's Rosso di Montalcino is a Tuscan red wine made exclusively from Sangiovese grapes. It has a fresh and dynamic profile, characterized by lively acidity and well-balanced tannins that outline a juicy body. The winemaking process is designed to offer a clear varietal expression, thanks to targeted maceration to extract the grape's typical characteristics and extended bottle aging , resulting in a defined and harmonious palate .

Where does it come from?

The grapes are grown in the hilly areas of Montalcino, Tuscany, at an altitude of 350 meters above sea level. The vineyards grow on stony , clayey soils and benefit from an optimal southeast exposure. This unique combination of altitude and soil composition, combined with approximately twenty-year-old vines, supports a dynamic flavor profile and promotes the development of clear, well-integrated mineral sensations within the wine's structure.

How it is produced

The harvest takes place between September and October, with both manual and mechanical picking. Once in the cellar, fermentation begins at a controlled temperature and continues with an eighteen-day maceration on the skins , ideal for promoting the extraction of the color and aromas typical of Sangiovese. Before being released for sale, the wine ages for twelve months in bottle , an essential phase for integrating the tannic structure and establishing the overall balance .

Tasting notes

In the glass, it displays a bright ruby red color, consistent with the varietal's characteristics. On the nose, it develops a clean bouquet dominated by cherry and plum aromas , enriched with subtle mineral notes. The palate reveals a vibrant progression driven by a firm acidity and measured tannins. The finish closes with a savory persistence that faithfully recalls the ripe fruit perceived on the nose and maintains its consistency until the last sip.

What does it pair with?

This red's gastronomic vocation is best expressed with medium-bodied dishes that require a fresh counterpoint. It pairs easily with roast chicken and flavorful seafood recipes like assorted fish soups . It is particularly suited to Tuscan first courses, such as traditional tortelli al ragù , where the acidic energy and measured tannins effectively balance the fatty components of the sauces.

When to serve it

This is the perfect wine for convivial moments at the table, ideal for those seeking a focused expression of the grape variety, combining freshness and balance. Thanks to its balanced structure, it lends itself to accompany both everyday meals and more flavorful dishes.
