Stella di Campalto Rosso di Montalcino 2016
This might be one of the most sought-after Rosso di Montalcino's in the world right now. We are as skeptical as anyone when we see a price tag like this on a Rosso di Montalcino, but as soon as you get this in your glass, it becomes exceedingly clear that this is no ordinary Rosso.
This is super effusive, floral and hyper-expressive on the nose with dusty cherry and cranberry flavors that gain complexity with air, giving way to worn leather and cherry tobacco flavors. Born of biodynamic vines, there are bags of minerals wrapped in bright acids with layers of complex red fruits and savory earth. Every time you taste this wine it tells a little bit more of its story. This has an ethereal brightness and energy to it as it seems to smoothly pulsate across the tongue. Excellent stuff!
