Brunello's little brother. According to the ideas of the Consorzio, the Rosso should be the ruby-red, fresh and fruity counterpart to the Brunello, which is ready to drink much earlier. Terroir and grape variety (100% Sangiovese clone Brunello) are the same, otherwise the regulations are less strict. The yields can be a little higher and the young wine, which does not necessarily have to have been in the wood, can be marketed as early as September 1st after the harvest. While some winegrowers now bottle their Rosso di Montalcino as a declassified and therefore not really cheap second wine, at Corte Pavone it is still a Rosso in the original sense. The grapes come from vines that are on average 25 years old, and the wine matures for 18 months in used wooden barrels of various sizes before it is bottled. Ruby red in the glass. Violets, dark cherries, dried plums, cedar wood and dark tobacco on the nose. In addition, ethereal and animal notes. Youthful, very juicy acidity, lots of extract sweetness, fine-grained yet soft tannins and some saltiness on the finish. Lots of sophistication and drinkability with a surprisingly good price-performance ratio!
