San Giorgio Rosso di Montalcino Ciampoleto 2016 Bottle:1 Tasted January 2016Rosso di Montalcino is a large Tuscan DOC, to the far south of the Chianti Classico region, which has been classified since 1983. The wines are fruity, soft, light and forward maturing. They come from Sangiovesse vines outside the finer Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, harvested at up to 62 hl ha, or from declassified Brunello fruit (often from young vines) in which case the yield must be the same as Brunello wines, at 55 hl ha.
