The 2013 Rosso di Montalcino is a surprisingly big wine with bold extract and a dark, impenetrable color. It only sees six months of oak and you can taste the youth of the fruit and those just-fermented tones (carbonic like) of soda and raw cherry. It glides smoothly over the palate and would undoubtedly make an excellent pairing companion to oven-roasted lasagna or cheese and spinach-filled ravioli. This is a simple, clean and quintessentially Italian red wine.
