Rosso di Montalcino Stella di Campalto 2014

From the Stella di Campalto winery, a family-run biodynamic winery in Montalcino known for its artisanal philosophy and the ethereal expression of Sangiovese, this 2014 Rosso di Montalcino embodies the finesse and elegance of a challenging vintage. 2014 was a cool and rainy year, requiring rigorous grape selection but producing wines of great purity, transparency, and vibrant acidity, a stark contrast to warmer, more powerful vintages.

Made from pure Sangiovese grapes, with an alcohol content of 13.5%, the wine has been aged extensively in large oak barrels. It presents a delicate yet layered bouquet of cherry, red currant, underbrush, and floral notes. On the palate, it is subtle and vibrant, with splendid acidity and silky tannins. Its elegance and freshness make it a unique wine, showcasing the soul of Sangiovese in an atypical vintage. The finish is persistent and leaves an impression of great minerality. It pairs magnificently with rich red meat dishes, game, and mature cheeses.
