Tenuta Fanti Rosso di Montalcino

Tenuta Fanti's Rosso di Montalcino is a dry, medium-bodied red wine from southern Montalcino in Tuscany. The aromas feature an instense bouquet of sour cherries, bitter cherries, and blackcurrants, followed by blood orange peel, wild strawberry, dried violet, white pepper, ginger and balsamic undertones. The palate replicates some of the aromas alongside a fresh, juicy structure, zesty acidity, and well-integrated tannins. The finish is long-lasting and persistent with notes of sweet mulberry, chocolate, leather, and a mineral touch. The grapes were fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats with regular pumpovers; malolactic fermentation also occurred in stainless steel. The wine ages for 12 months in a combination of French oak barrique and large oak barrels; some aging occurred in the bottle before release.

Food Pairing: grilled steak, Chianina rib steak, beef tenderloin, lamb chops, wild boar, venison with blueberry compote, grilled pork chops, marinated and grilled portobello mushrooms, mushroom risotto, beef stew, aged parmigiano-reggiano.
