NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Tornesi Rosso di Montalcino has a wonderful contrast between vibrant acidity and bold flavors.On the nose, you can expect to find aromas of tart red berries, such as cherries and plums, accompanied by subtle notes of dried herbs and black tea.
This wine offers a medium to full-bodied palate with firm tannins that frame the red fruit. These notes are complemented by hints of earthiness and tomato leaf. The acidity provides a refreshing backbone, while the finish is lean and angular.
