Vincenzo Abruzzesi continues to regularly out-perform the vast majority of his peers in Montalcino, many with – in theory – better vineyards. But sticking to task in hand, as opposed to sleeping at the switch, can do wonders. Just what hard work and integrity can do are already evident in the 2002 Rosso di Montalcino, once again one of the best in the appellation and far superior to the level of the vintage itself in its ripeness, elegance, length, and freshness.
