NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Agostina Pieri Rosso di Montalcino is a vibrant expression of Sangiovese, boasting aromas of ripe red cherries, wild berries, and hints of violet.On the palate, it delivers a harmonious balance of fruitiness, earthiness, and gentle tannins, with a refreshing acidity that lingers through the finish. Pair this versatile red with classic Italian dishes like pasta with tomato-based sauces, grilled meats, or aged cheeses. While delightful now, it has the structure to age gracefully for another 3-5 years, revealing further complexity and depth.
