Giuseppe Gorelli impressed with his second vintage of Rosso di Montalcino. Since 2017, he has managed 6.5 hectares in the northwest part of the Montalcino appellation. This 2019 is full of floral peony intensity with blood orange and smoky woodland notes. Velvety and dense, its savoury orange focus is followed by great refinement on the finish with touches of liquorice. Firm yet integrated acidity gives persistence. Spontaneous fermentation in both tronconic oak cask made by Garbellotto and stainless-steel tank. Aged for nine months in 50-hl casks. 13,080 bottles and 250 magnums produced - This overachieving Rosso di Montalcino will completely excite those venturing into Italian wine and is of immense value to those who can give this bottle some time in the cellar.
