ROSSO DI MONTALCINO ACCOLADES FROM CRITICS AND CONSUMERS
FIRST THE HIGHEST SCORE FROM THE AIS SOMMELIER GUIDE VITAE AND NOW THE 92/100 FROM MICHAEL GODEL CANADIAN SUPER TASTER, ROSSO DI MONTALCINO 2021 IS A STAR
Incredible! Donatella Cinelli Colombini‘s Rosso di Montalcino 2021 continues to obtain awards from the most qualified tasters and steals the show from Brunello.
The commercial success is confirmed by super experts who emphasize the drinkable and at the same time elegant character of a young wine but capable of showing the world-class virtues of Sangiovese from Montalcino.
For Donatella Cinelli Colombini it is a great satisfaction because Rosso di Montalcino is a wine made by her winemakers alone, without external consultants. Donatella’s wineries – Casato Prime Donne in Montalcino and Fattoria del Colle in Trequanda – are the first in Italy with an all-female staff and pride themselves on always seeking faithful interpretations of the terroir and vintage. A “light oenology” as Professor Luigi Moio defined it, which leaves nature a leading role and the cellar staff the task of preserving the gifts of the vineyard without changing anything.
Here a super harvest like 2021 reveals its merits in the Rosso di Montalcino which heralds a great Brunello from the same vintage.
So, let’s go and see the reviews
4 TRALCI (VINE SHOOTS) FROM THE VITAE GUIDE FOR THE 2021 ROSSO DI MONTALCINO
Rosso di Montalcino 2021 – Quattro Tralci Vitae
The VITAE guide expresses the opinion of the AIS Sommeliers, the largest association in Italy with 40,000 members including professionals and amateurs. The tasting commissions that evaluate the wines are regional and include great experts who often work in restaurants, wine shops or are wine educators . These professionals therefore have both technical expertise and knowledge of the evolution of consumption styles.
<<The attractive amaranth becomes inviting in the fruitiness of Vignola cherry, violet and iris, modulating a complexity with coriander and black pepper, to tease the nose with Kentucky tobacco. Fruity cherryiness one might say, due to the iconic freshness, the elegant tannin and long persistence of blood orange>>
