Rosso 2019 Producer|Garo'vin

Rosso 2019 Producer|Garo'vinWidely regarded as one of the finest producers in Tuscany, Montevertine's simply named 'Rosso' was the first wine ever made at the estate, originally as a Chianti Classico in the 80s, before they left the DO. True to the form of a Classico, this is mainly Sangiovese (90%) with blending grapes Canaiolo and Colorino making up the final 10%. The wine offers a sound investment for those not looking to reach the dizzy heights of their iconic Pergole Torte,

the perfect aperitif

The ‘NV’ in the description stands for ‘non-vintage’

The grapes see a short semi-carbonic maceration in whole bunches

exactly what the Alsace does best

A tea-like maceration of Pinot Gris (known here as Ruländer) that brings together white flowers

Joachim’s wines retain an exciting freshness and vibrancy that is really transportive

luminous vintage

an extended time in amphora has imprinted a whole new textural identity on that same herbal

quarterly or as a one off purchase

crunchy fruit

the wine returned to these tanks to rest for 11 months before bottling

much like 2022 but with more rain just before harvest
