Val di Suga
Rosso di Montalcino DOC
This Rosso is distinct for its earlier accessibility compared to Brunello, offering a more approachable yet complex profile. It showcases the unique terroirs of Montalcino, delivering a refined and expressive wine that reflects the estate's commitment to quality and tradition. Val di Suga's Rosso di Montalcino is a vibrant expression of Sangiovese Grosso, sourced from the estate's three historic vineyards. The blend consists of a younger selection of vines, of which, about 40% are from Vigna del Lago, with its unique microclimate, 30% from Poggio al Granchio, known for its structured soils, and 30% from Vigna Spuntali, which provides freshness due to its higher altitude.

“Flush with medicinal herbs, this jumps from the glass with notes of cranberry compote and rose petal. Medium-bodied and energetic with the refreshing acidity of orange zest and pomegranate as well as fine tannins, it is zippy and focused, with a vibrant linear approach.”
