Vintage Character The 2021 Rosso di Montalcino from Gorelli exemplifies the vibrancy and purity of young Sangiovese grown in Tuscany’s celebrated Montalcino region. The 2021 vintage in Tuscany was marked by a harmonious growing season, with moderate warmth and well-timed rainfall fostering healthy vine development and optimal fruit ripeness. This balance is reflected in the wine’s lively character, which opens with aromas of wild cherry, red plum, violet, and delicate dried herbs.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the palate, it is medium-bodied and energetic, delivering flavors of tart raspberry, cranberry, and a subtle touch of spice, all supported by supple tannins and refreshing acidity. The finish is clean and persistent, with a mineral edge and lingering notes of savory earth. Gorelli Rosso di Montalcino pairs beautifully with classic Western dishes such as roast pork with herbs, mushroom risotto, and mature Pecorino cheese, while its bright acidity also makes it a fine match for a simple soy-braised chicken, offering versatility across cuisines.
