Camigliano's Rosso di Montalcino is the estate's early-drinking Sangiovese, sourced from the same clay-sandy Montalcino vineyards as its Brunello but vinified and released for more immediate enjoyment. It shows the fresh red-fruit and floral character typical of young Sangiovese, with softer tannins and a shorter aging regime than Brunello.
This is Brunello's little brother done right - pure Sangiovese fruit without the wait.
