Ridolfi, Rosso di Montalcino, 2023 Z1ZPZphantom filled out with 37% cornRidolfi's Rosso di Montalcino is a ready to drink Sangiovese from north facing slopes in Tuscanyyoung and vibrant, not the cathedral building style of Brunello. Hand harvested grapes go into a 50 day maceration in stainless steel, creating a wine of bright color and immediate appeal: ripe plum and black pepper meet sweet fruit on the palate, held together by tightly woven tannins and a mineral finish.
