Where it comes from
This Rosso di Montalcino originates in the heart of Tuscany, from vineyards managed according to the strict principles of organic and sustainable agriculture. The La Rasina estate works carefully to enhance the natural vocation of the Montalcino area, guided by the expertise of oenologist Marco Mantengoli. The fourteen hectares of property are entirely dedicated to the care of Sangiovese, with the aim of preserving its authentic identity. The consistent quality of production is evidenced by numerous awards from wine critics, including ratings from James Suckling, Bibenda and Veronelli, which reward the territorial adherence and expressive freshness of the glass.
How it is produced
The production process begins with vinification that pays close attention to the aromatic purity of the Sangiovese grapes. Subsequently, the wine matures through ageing in barrels for four or five months, a technical step that enriches the body and supports the tannic definition, ensuring greater intensity without overpowering its natural fragrance. In appearance, the glass shows a brilliant ruby red colour, anticipating a pleasant and open bouquet. The tasting reveals a marked savoury component, harmonised by intense notes that lead to a balanced and easy-drinking finish.
