A lively and bright red color. The nose is stunned by the complexity of this wine with strawberry and dark cherry dominating this rich bouquet. The palate is harmonic, elegant, and extremely balanced. The young tannins, well integrated with a preceivable acidity, display a great silky texture.

A deep magenta color, the 2022 Rosso Di Montalcino Giovanni Neri is sourced from 50-year-old Brunello vines and is a step up from many of the Rossos of this vintage. It is aged for 12 months in used tonneaux and a few months in bottle before release. It opens to deep, layered aromas of blackberries, toasted anise, turned soil, and lavender. Full-bodied, with wonderful structure, it offers sweet, ripe tannins, and though it’s warming, it has good freshness and a floral perfume that lasts through its long finish. It is a rare case where Rosso is taken this seriously and this wine has some real aging potential, as it will continue to improve over the coming 2-3 years. Less than 5000 bottles were produced in this low yielding vintage. Drink 2024-2032.
