WINE DESCRIPTION
Cupano's Rosso di Montalcino is a standout expression of the Sangiovese grape, crafted in the rolling hills of Montalcino, a region renowned for producing some of Italy's most celebrated wines. This wine represents a more approachable, early-drinking style compared to its elder sibling, the Brunello, yet it retains a depth and complexity that is unmistakably Montalcino. Cupano, with its artisanal approach and focus on organic viticulture, ensures that each bottle captures the essence of the terroir. Aged in French oak barrels, the wine acquires subtle wood notes that complement the natural vibrancy of the Sangiovese grape, resulting in a Rosso di Montalcino that is both elegant and expressive.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Cupano's Rosso di Montalcino presents a bright ruby color, inviting exploration.The nose is a delightful blend of red cherries, ripe strawberries, and a hint of Tuscan herbs, layered with a gentle touch of oak. On the palate, the wine expresses a beautiful harmony of fruit and earth, with flavors of red berries, plum, and a hint of tobacco, supported by a lively acidity and well-structured tannins. The oak aging lends a subtle spiciness and a smooth texture, making the wine accessible yet nuanced. The finish is long and satisfying, with a lingering taste of fruit and a whisper of Mediterranean warmth. This Rosso di Montalcino is a true reflection of Cupano's dedication to crafting wines with character and a sense of place.
