Ridolfi 2022 Rosso di Montalcino

Grapes come from northern and eastern slopes of Montalcino at about 300 m elevation, on soils combining clay, marine fossils, and in upper zones, alberese sandstone. The vineyards are farmed using organic principles. After hand-picking, the fruit is fermented in separate lots, with cold maceration, followed by 40 days on skins. Maturation takes place in large oak barrels (Slavonian & French) for 12 months, followed by several months in bottle.

The wine shows a bright, ruby red color. Aromas include ripe red cherry, violet, and spice, with hints of sweet herbs and balsamic nuance. On the palate, it is elegant and well-balanced, offering red fruit flavors, gentle tannins, and a refreshing streak of acidity. The finish is persistent and savory.
