ottega Rosso di Montalcino is a fresher, more approachable expression of Montalcino — delivering Sangiovese character with brightness, energy and immediate drinkability.

It offers the feel of Brunello, but in a lighter, more relaxed style.

My Wine Man

This is for someone who enjoys Italian reds with freshness and balance, but doesn’t want the weight or structure of Brunello.

If you like wines that are expressive, food-friendly and easy to drink, this is a great entry into Montalcino.

What makes this wine stand out

This is all about freshness and clarity.

You get cherry, red plum and bright red fruit at the core, with a clean, lively profile.

There’s still structure underneath — gentle tannins and acidity give it shape — but everything stays light, balanced and easygoing.

It’s designed to be enjoyed, not analysed.

Style / drinking window

Medium-bodied with cherry, plum and fresh red fruit character.

Bright acidity and soft tannins provide lift and smooth structure.

Best enjoyed now while its freshness and energy are at their peak.

Why this is a smart buy

If you want a Tuscan red that’s easier to drink than Brunello but still delivers real character, this is a strong choice.

It’s versatile, food-friendly and a great introduction to Montalcino wines.
