Wines for the Region
Wines from the Montalcino region are defined by:

• Brunello di Montalcino, made entirely from Sangiovese Grosso
• Full-bodied structure with firm tannins
• Flavors of dark cherry, plum, leather, dried herbs, and spice
• Exceptional aging potential, often developing complexity over decades

In addition to Brunello, wineries also produce Rosso di Montalcino, a younger and more approachable expression of the same grape that showcases the freshness and fruit of the region.
