Loghi Rosso di Montalcino 2018 750ml
WINE EXPERT’S TASTING NOTES
The 2018 Rosso di Montalcino grumbles up from the glass, dark yet inviting, with notes of leather and tobacco offset by a cooling whiff of mint and wild strawberry that comes forward over time. Its silken textures are complemented by a rich wave of dark fruits that give way to nuances of licorice and spice. It leaves a savory bitterness that's nicely lifted by residual acids, tapering off to hints of plum and sage. There's an unexpected weight to the 2018, yet the balance here is on point.
WINEMAKER’S TASTING NOTE
Deep floral aromas with hints of spice and mint. The wine is medium to full bodied, with nice acidy and balanced tannins. Ideal with cold cuts and meat sauce pasta and grilled red meat. Fantastic alongside medium seasoned cheeses and mushrooms.
