On the nose, it reveals a pronounced bouquet of ripe red fruits and a distinct spicy note, with hints of blackberry, plum, morello cherry and rose petals, combined with scents of wild herbs and damp earth. On the palate, it is warm, smooth and full-bodied, displaying a well-defined structure with \u003cstrong\u003evelvety tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e that are never aggressive. The organoleptic profile ensures an elegant balance between savouriness and the sweetness of the fruit, offering a pleasantly persistent finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from various vineyards located in the \u003cstrong\u003emunicipality of Montalcino\u003c\/strong\u003e, in the heart of the Siena region. The vines are trained using the spurred cordon method with a north-west exposure, set on soils rich in marl and \u003cstrong\u003esandy-marl formations\u003c\/strong\u003e at around three hundred metres above sea level. This specific combination of soil and climate favours a clear expression of the fruit, giving the wine an elegant tannic texture and intense continuity on the palate.

In the winery, total destemming is carried out, followed by a brief pre-fermentation cold maceration. Fermentation with maceration lasts for at least fifteen days at a controlled temperature. The wine matures for twelve months in \u003cstrong\u003enew and used barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e of various sizes, then refines further in the bottle. In the glass, it shows an intense ruby red colour, offering a pleasantly enveloping sensation with a captivating \u003cstrong\u003ebalsamic finish\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is recommended to allow one hour of aeration and to serve between fourteen and sixteen degrees Celsius.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn from the pioneering vision of Silvio Nardi, who acquired the Casale del Bosco Estate in 1950, this prestigious \u003cstrong\u003eRosso di Montalcino DOC\u003c\/strong\u003e represents the refined “younger brother” of Brunello. Aged for twelve months in selected barrels, the wine expresses the authentic soul of the Tuscan terroir thanks to rigorous \u003cstrong\u003eorganic and sustainable cultivation\u003c\/strong\u003e.
