Think of Rosso di Montalcino as the baby brother to Brunello. Whereas Brunello must be in oak for a minimum of three years, the Rosso spends 18 months in barrel. They are generally ready to drink upon release whereas young Brunello always benefits from time in the cellar. It offers a classic core of sweet black cherry fruit and cassis with smoky undertones, a polished gem of a wine.
