The Power of Three: New Vintage Rosso di Montalcino
BY ERIC GUIDO | JANUARY 12, 2021
The Plot
Wouldn’t you know it, like most things in Italy where nothing is really ever cut and dry, a request to sample Rosso di Montalcino flooded my house with wines from three very different vintages. At first, I found this challenging, because my initial intention was to do a report with all 2019s. However, I then realized that this instead provided an opportunity to taste a broad range of new wines, all currently in the market or just entering it, and to gain a better understanding of the next three vintages of Brunello.
