Rosso di Montalcino 2009 Cantina di Montalcino

    The strength of this producer lies in its ability to draw fruit from all over the zone, something that enables the power of wines from the south to be moderated by the elegance and aromatics found in wines from the north of the zone. The wines have a freshness allied to the power and structure typical of good Brunello. The Cantina di Montalcino was founded in 1975 and was acquired by the cooperative Cantine Leonardo in 1990. There are ninety associate growers whose combined vineyards cover 108 hectares.
    This wine is purple-red in colour, with good depth and structure. Intensely perfumed on the nose, with aromas of fresh fruit such as cherries, blackberries and blackcurrants, with a spicy finish. On the palate, the wine is full bodied, with good depth and richness, attractive fruit and well balanced acidity.
