Rosso di Montalcino is considered to be the "younger brother" of Brunello, since it is made with the same type of grape - Sangiovese, vinified "pure". Compared to its "big brother", Rosso di Montalcino di Coldisole is made using grapes not considered quite suitable for Brunello - for a wine that is fresher and more easily paired with dishes of every kind. Refinement is also shorter - just eight months in small oak barrels, followed by eight months in the bottle. This wine nevertheless boasts an excellent structure; it is fruity, with impressive and persistent perfumes and suitable for moderate ageing.
