Rosso di Montalcino AMPELIO 2020

La Torre Rosso di Montalcino 2020 is a delightful, traditionally crafted organic Tuscan red from the prestigious vineyards of southern Montalcino, near Sant'Angelo in Colle. Made from 100% Sangiovese Grosso, this elegant wine captures much of the finesse and complexity of the estate's celebrated Brunello, in a softer, more approachable style.

The small, family-owned La Torre estate cultivates its vineyards on elevated, south-facing slopes with stony, limestone-rich soils. Traditional winemaking and maturation in oak barrels, with only limited use of barriques, preserve the distinctive character of Sangiovese and its Montalcino terroir.

The 2020 displays a brilliant ruby-red colour with developing garnet reflections and an inviting bouquet of ripe cherries, wild berries, violets and dried roses, complemented by Mediterranean herbs, subtle tobacco and delicate spices. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, silky and beautifully balanced, with juicy red fruit, refreshing acidity, fine tannins and a long, savoury finish.

Beautifully mature and drinking wonderfully in 2026! At six years old, this charming Rosso offers an attractive combination of ripe fruit and emerging complexity, without the heavier structure of Brunello. Enjoy now or cellar well-stored bottles for a few more years.

A little brother to Brunello – wonderfully elegant, authentically Tuscan and exceptionally enjoyable!
