Az. Agr. Lisini - Rosso di Montalcino DOC 2020 0,750 L.

ROSSO DI MONTALCINO DOC

Rosso di Montalcino wine is obtained from the same vineyards as Brunello di Montalcino in that the producer can choose during the harvest and ageing of the wine which portion of it to market under this appellation, without waiting the four-year period envisaged by the Brunello Disciplinary. The Rosso di Montalcino of Azienda Agraria Lisini is distinguished by its ruby red colour and its intense, characteristic aroma. The flavour is warm and dry, slightly tannic.
