The 2015 San Giorgio Ciampoleto Rosso di Montalcino is a vibrant red wine made from 100% Sangiovese grapes, primarily from younger vines (10-15 years old) of the estate. The vineyards benefit from a mild Mediterranean climate and calcareous deposits and clay soils. On the nose, it offers great aromatic intensity with notes of ripe red fruits, floral purple and violet, along with savory notes of leather and tobacco leaf. The palate is soft, velvety, and fresh, with ample volume, developing a good balance between fruity notes and pleasant tannins. It delivers juicy red berries and baking spice, with supple tannins and vibrant acidity refreshing the palate, leading to a lingering finish that begs another sip. It's described as a pretty red with light tannins and juicy fruit, medium-bodied with a savory finish. Some notes also include black cherry, licorice, earth, tobacco, and spice. Food pairing suggestions include Italian first courses, grilled meats and vegetables, or medium-aged cheeses. It also goes well with venison and game, local preparations of wild boar, moist braised red meat, and hard cheese of medium seasoning. Lamb and veal are also excellent choices. This Rosso di Montalcino is an excellent choice for a casual Italian dinner, a barbecue with friends, or a gathering where a versatile and approachable red wine is desired. It's a wine that can be enjoyed now. 【Fragrant and bright on the nose, delivering juicy red berries and baking spice on the palate.】
