The 2023 Voliero Rosso di Montalcino is a beautifully expressive 100% Sangiovese from the prestigious Montalcino appellation. Produced by the boutique Voliero estate, the wine is sourced from younger vines and select parcels surrounding the Brunello vineyards, offering the purity and pedigree of the estate in a more youthful, approachable style. Aged in large oak casks, it balances vibrant fruit with classic Tuscan structure and elegance.
The nose reveals aromas of red cherry, wild raspberry and blood orange layered with violet, dried herbs and subtle spice. The palate is medium-bodied and finely textured, with juicy red berry fruit supported by silky tannins and bright natural acidity. Notes of savoury earth, crushed stone and gentle spice emerge through a long, refined finish with excellent freshness and balance.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A refined Rosso di Montalcino that beautifully captures the elegance and energy of Sangiovese. Its vibrant fruit and savoury complexity make it an excellent match for pasta with ragù, grilled pork, roast chicken, mushroom risotto and Pecorino cheese. Enjoy now through 2032 while its freshness, finesse and regional character are at their best.
