Agostina Pieri Rosso di Montalcino, 2021 Elisabetta Foradori red cherriesFrom a much heralded small production Brunello producer, this Rosso di Montalcino is a treat gulpable, smooth, lively everything you want in an Italian red wine. This isn't an austere "I hope I understand it wine", it is everyone's friend, and a delight to drink. The estate is in the southernmost part of Montalcino. 100% Sangiovese, balancing tradition and today; texturally and fruitily delicious. Approx. two weeks in stainless for fermentation before
