Wine Review: The dark red colored Rosso di Montalcino opens with a red cherry and cedar bouquet with hints of dried tobacco leaf and oregano. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, and very approachable. The flavor profile is a black cherry and cedar blend with notes of black plum, cinnamon, and black pepper. I also detected hints of black tea. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity, and moderate dusty tannins are nicely extended. This versatile and very good Rosso is food friendly and would pair well with your favorite three meat Bolognese. Enjoy - Ken
