The 2013 Rosso di Montalcino immediately shows some of the heat of the vintage with ripe notes of cherry marmalade and blackberry preserves. Those upfront fruit tones are followed by spice and leather (the wine ages in oak for six months) and a darkly concentrated appearance. There's a raw, vinous quality to the fruit with cola and moist pipe tobacco on the finish. You might also notice a touch of tartness on the tannins that might not fully integrate.
