Description
Rosso di Montalcino DOC “Sassello” – Il Poggiolo
The Sassello Rosso di Montalcino DOC from Il Poggiolo is an elegant 100% Sangiovese wine produced in the rolling hills of Montalcino. The vineyards, located at approximately 450 meters above sea level and benefiting from southeast exposure, are rooted in calcareous and sandy soils that contribute to the wine’s distinctive character and finesse.
In the glass, it displays a deep ruby-red color. The bouquet is rich and inviting, offering aromas of ripe cherry, raspberry, and wild red berries, complemented by delicate notes of vanilla, wildflowers, and subtle spices. On the palate, it is smooth, fresh, and well-balanced, with refined tannins, vibrant acidity, and a pleasant mineral character that leads to a long and elegant finish.
A versatile and food-friendly wine, it pairs beautifully with pasta dishes featuring meat sauces, wild boar ragù, grilled red meats, roasted dishes, traditional Tuscan cured meats, and aged cheeses. This Rosso di Montalcino authentically reflects its terroir, delivering the elegance and personality of Sangiovese in a refined yet approachable style.
