La Lecciaia Rosso di Montalcino 2013

Winemaker's Notes:

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Fermented in stainless steel and then moved to oak for brief four-month period, the 2013 Rosso di Montalcino shows easy fruit appeal. Aromas include small tones of forest berry and white cherry backed by more evident aromas of balsam herb, cola and licorice. You get the aromas that are characteristic of Brunello, only in a less formal and less nuanced ensemble. Bright berry fruit and tangy acidity appear on the thin close. (ML) (2/2015) Vinous The 2013 Rosso di Montalcino is pleasantly rustic and bold, with plenty of Sangiovese character. Sweet red cherry, tobacco, spice and cedar abound. The 2013 is a bit rough around the edges, but intriguing at the same time. Grippy, dusty tannins support the expressive finish. (AG) (2/2015) Wine Spectator Cinnamon, cherry and currant flavors make up this vibrant, focused red. Stays lean and firm through the finish

Plenty of red berry fruit, dirt, spice with that Montalcino zest at the end. Medium chewy tannins give added texture and the acidity gives this a nice pop and drive at the end. 89 points - drink now - Paul
