750ml Frescobaldi Campo Ai Sassi Rosso di Montalcino DOC Red Wine (Alpiste)

Product Description

Sommelier Randall Calderón Chacón notes that Rosso di Montalcino serves as the younger sibling to the Brunello, utilizing the region’s younger vineyards. The vines for this particular wine were planted in 1990, whereas older vines are traditionally dedicated to Brunello di Montalcino. This wine is more jovial with a moderate intensity, offering a superb gateway to the wines of this area. It is a single-varietal wine made from Sangiovese, the signature grape of Tuscany, and is produced by the renowned Marchesi de Frescobaldi winery, which carries over seven centuries of winemaking expertise.
